Thermal Imaging Lenses

Thermal Imaging Lenses for 8 µm, 12 µm & 17 µm Detectors — 40 Standard Models

The LMXHG series covers focal lengths from 2.2 mm to 100 mm plus a 30–150 mm continuous-zoom model, matched to today’s most common uncooled detector formats — 256×192 up to 1280×1024. Every model ships with its measured FOV, F-number and mount spec.
