IR Sensors/Detectors (cooled and uncooled)
Trying to keep a virus out of the country? Then an airport scanner equipped with microbolometers which can sense minute differences from normal body temperature can help. Traditional cooled IR sensors are both difficult and expensive to produce which is why microbolometers that work at room temperature show potential for everyday applications. The testing of these devices requires a vacuum environment and typically involves exposing the device to a blackbody radiation source.
The traditional cooled IR sensors are tested in the same way but require a temperature down to 77K within the vacuum test environment. A SUSS cryogenic prober is therefore ideal as it is able to even cool down to 4K depending on device under test.
