The A-BF RX-500 makes that evidence visible at a 256 x 192 infrared resolution, across a range from minus 20 to plus 550 degrees C, with an IFOV of 3.75 mrad that resolves small targets from a working distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;\"\u003eThe imager fits a hand.

Five colour palettes, including rainbow and iron oxide red plus high-contrast black and white options, let the thermographer choose the rendering that makes a fifteen-degree delta obvious rather than arguable.
