Monochrome Near-Infrared (NIR) cameras are reshaping surface inspection and high-speed imaging tasks. Their ability to capture images in low-light and challenging conditions makes them invaluable in industries like automotive and electronics. By highlighting surface defects that are invisible in visible light, NIR cameras ensure top-notch product quality. Their high-speed capabilities also enable fast data processing, enhancing production line efficiency. NIR technology is crucial for industries seeking precision and reliability in surface analysis.
