I am aware of most all kinds of detectors for all purposes.<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The Internet has countless ones and many hundreds of small groups who can build most anything you want. What I try to find are the ones who will emerge as new global industries &#8211; affecting the lives of the 8 billion humans now.<\/p>\n<p>Without a huge investment of time, these low cost modules and components can be adapted to many new purposes. But the market is driving them to the applications I mentioned. ThorLabs seems to have the ability.\u00a0 I am not sure if they are fast enough and willing to do the work.\u00a0 I am not starting new industries myself.\u00a0 Perhaps some of the soft x-ray and extreme ultraviolet, some thermal.<\/p>\n<p>I asked ThorLabs about LWIR and thermal microscopy &#8211; partly to encourage you to try.\u00a0 Not for me, because I cannot afford your prices, which are predicated on an older way of doing things.\u00a0 With AIs, in a year or two, it will likely change dramatically.<\/p>\n<p>Long-wave IR Thermal Imaging Camera Module, 80\u00d762 Pixels, 45\u00b0FOV, $119<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.waveshare.com\/thermal-camera.htm<\/p>\n<p>For PDA10DT, you should probably write the bandwidth as 1 MHz.
