When selecting a machine vision camera for an industrial or research application, one critical question to consider is spectral sensitivity. Do you need visible spectrum, near-infrared (NIR), short-wave infrared (SWIR), or long-wave infrared (LWIR) capabilities? These terms refer to different ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum that cameras can detect.

In this video, our imaging experts explore how each type performs best in various applications— from quality inspection on production lines to thermal monitoring and beyond. Understanding these spectral bands helps narrow down your camera selection process for optimal results.
