Pretty sure that is an Indigo Merlin Camera

(1/2) > >>

MrSheep:
Was watching a documentary and noticed a camera he was using. At the 3:05 mark. Looks like a Merlin camera haha.

Judging by the imaging shown looks like NIR?

IR_Geek:
Yeah, it looks like a Merlin.   The removable control pad gives it away.   To bulky to be an uncooled LWIR or NIR ... maybe a MWIR or SWIR?   

MrSheep:
If I am not mistaken Merlin had 3 cameras. NIR, MWIR, LWIR They all had the same body. I had one once (LWIR uncooled) but I no longer own it. Apparently the MWIR used a linear cooler. So buying one second hand isn't a bad idea (My amber radiance is much older and still works!). They tend to have great cool down times (5-6min). The interface is a bit dated and the connectivity isn't the friendliest. I believe it worked with FLIR researcher (not sure tho) I attached the datasheet for more info on the 3 cameras in their line.

IR_Geek:
Same here.  Work had three of the LW's and one of the Vis/NIR.    They were excellent for their day.   Worked with custom collection software and also RTools.   Never used a MW as we had Amber's of older vintage but better focal planes.   

Reason I add the Vis part is the sensor had a enough of a response that if you used a blocking filter on the NIR then it could see in the visible.

MrSheep:
Wow that is pretty neat! And ah that makes sense! Forgot that most of these lenses like the Janos ones have the option to put a filter behind the lens.
