Fluke TiX500 infrared camera with 240 rotating screen gives a better view of hard to reach objects
The Fluke TiX500 will help you navigate, capture, and process images faster. Easily navigate over, under and around hard to reach targets with the full 240° rotating screen. Analyze images in the field on the 5.7 inch responsive touchscreen LCD with on-camera analytics. You can save time by editing emissivity, background temp, transmissivity, palettes, color alarms, adjusting IR-Fusion, and enabling/disabling markers all on the camera.
Get in-focus premium image quality at the touch of a button Instantly get an in-focus image of your target with precision accuracy using Fluke's exclusive LaserSharp® Auto Focus technology. The built-in laser distance meter quickly calculates and displays the distance to your designated target with pinpoint accuracy. This helps ensure that you get the correct image and temperature measurements of the exact target you're inspecting You can turn your 320 x 240 images into 640 x 480 images, that's 4x the resolution and pixels with SuperResolution (available on-screen and in software). The TiX500 is also compatible with optional field installable 2x and 4x telephoto, wide angle, and 25 micron macro smart lenses for added versatility.
