Why Teledyne FLIR?
HNu Photonics chose the Teledyne FLIR Blackfly machine vision camera because its superior performance and compact form matter enable vision system designers and scientists to take advantage of high-resolution, low-noise interrogation processes at a subcellular level. Teledyne FLIR Blackfly’s high QE (quantum efficiency) and low read noise are key considerations to ensure high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) in uncooled sensors, while small size and low mass are especially necessary for space payloads.
Dr. Mark Mulrooney, MoSL program Manager at HNu Photonics, said, “We thank Teledyne FLIR for building our small, high-performance CMOS product family for our Mobile SpaceLab in the ISS payload.”
The 2020 MoSL payload is powered by Teledyne FLIR Blackfly cameras, while the most recent 2021 payload has started with our latest Teledyne FLIR Blackfly S cameras, This further demonstrates the ease of upgrade deployment using Teledyne FLIR machine vision cameras and peripheral hardware.
