One expects ThorLabs to have “thermal imaging microscopes” but they do not
ThorLabs:
I have been looking at thermal (LWIR) camera sensors lately and came to your ThorLabs site looking for lenses for LWIR. Then I saw your microscope cameras and wondered if anyone is looking at “thermal imaging microscopes”. I would think there must be people looking at heat emission from PCBs and components which are small and maybe ones looking at small biological systems which always generate heat.
( “thermal imaging microscopes” ) does have 1060 entry points on Google. With Pembroke Instruments, Optical Mechanics, OptoTherm, Nicolet, CoolingZone, American Institute of Physics,
AIP has a term ( “near field” “thermal” ) with 3.21 Million entry points.
( “nanoscale” “thermal”) 49.2 Million
( “microscale” “thermal”) 5.92 Million
( “microscale” “heat”) 4.73 Million
