12 µm handheld thermals

A 12 µm pixel is half the area of a 17 µm one, so a 12 µm core reaches the same field of view with a shorter, lighter germanium lens. That is why the current generation of handhelds fits in a jacket pocket. These are the 12 µm handhelds in the catalog, ordered by our detection estimate.

16 units · Sorted by estimated detection range, longest first.
