Xenics Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) Wildcat+ 640 TE0 and WL Series

The Wildcat+ 640 TE0 and WL series is based upon a state-of-the-art uncooled InGaAs detector with 640×512 pixels and 20 μm pixel pitch. The WL version uses a special windowless sensor package for laser beam analysis applications. The camera offers superior, high-resolution SWIR imaging capabilities, comes in a versatile and industry-proven Wildcat camera package (GenICam compliant) and offers advanced on-board image processing.

The Wildcat+ 640 TE0 and WL cameras output full frame images at 220 Hz via either a CameraLink or USB3 Vision interface.

The Wildcat+ 640 TE0 and WL is suitable for semiconductor inspection, display inspection (mobile phone and TV), microscopy and laser beam analysis.
