Very interesting reports, Aurora, thank you!
However, from what I've seen on YouTube, the quality of the Seek Thermal image is inferior to Flir E8+... and this is not only due to halved number of pixels... the optics is also much smaller, and focusing is not perfect, image occurs as blurry as the reports are
More to that... I feel skeptical about microbolometer sizes sub 17 um... consider the wavelength of LIR upper limit - 14 um, when the size of sensor is smaller than the wavelength, image goes bad with Airy optical resolution limit effect... although theoretical value is 1/2 lambda, any microscope user would confirm that actually image starts to degrade at about 1.0 - 1.5 lambda. It is still possible to reconstruct (resolve) close pixels with heavy digital processing... however, this clearly wasn't done with Seek Thermal devices.
The E8+ is, on the other hand, an older technology with much larger pixel (~36 um if I am not mistaken), and that means that no image degradation due to wavelength limit is there even close. Indeed, with proper focusing, one can get each pixel clearly resolved and very sharp edges.
So I vote for the E8+, albeit it is much more expensive.
@All
guys, don't fall asleep! keep the Thread running!
I again call for your help with permanently set added Palettes... who knows what about this, how this could be done?
Thank you!
