ATOM
ATOM Thermal Imager

ATOM is a thermal imager manufactured by LYNRED USA. It collects high-resolution thermal imagery across the 8-14 μm spectral range. It is small and compact, making it easy to integrate into ground vehicle and airborne platforms. ATOM has a pixel pitch of 17 μm and an array size of 1024x768 pixels. It takes about two seconds to record an image at a frame rate of 30 Hz.
