SWIR Cameras

Eureca now gives also technical support regarding SWIR cameras. We help you to choose the best camera type for your application.

SWIR cameras are used in a wide range of industrial, scientific, and security applications due to their ability to capture images beyond the visible spectrum, typically in the 900 – 1700 nm range. In semiconductor inspection, they reveal defects in silicon wafers and allow imaging through materials opaque to visible light. In laser beam profiling, especially around 1550 nm, they help align and monitor laser systems safely. SWIR imaging also plays a key role in pharmaceutical and chemical industries by identifying compounds based on moisture or chemical content, and in agriculture and food processing to detect bruising, ripeness, or rot in produce.

In industrial settings, SWIR cameras monitor high-temperature processes, drying cycles, or see through glass and plastic enclosures. Their ability to penetrate haze and smoke makes them useful for surveillance and security, offering covert imaging under low-light conditions. Additionally, SWIR is used in art conservation to uncover hidden layers and restorations beneath surface paint, and in biomedical imaging to visualize veins or subsurface structures. Further applications include the inspection of solar cells for microcracks and alignment issues, as well as plastic sorting based on material-specific spectral features.
