I once rented an IR camera for roughly 100€. This is probably the best option for people who only need IR cameras on very few occasions.
Will we ever see chap(ish) IR cameras? Is there an alternative to germanium lenses on the horizon?
- jcims 6y agoI believe there are some metamaterial-based approaches for the actual microbolometers that should help drive costs down. Ostensibly metamaterials could also be used for lenses but I'm not aware of anything there, we're probably stuck with germanium for the time being.
- CamperBob2 6y agoZinc selenide lenses for laser cutters work very well in the spectral range covered by consumer IR cameras. They are dirt cheap on eBay, Ali Express, and other places.
