INTRODUCTION
The PTZ-35x140™ is a versatile, dual field of view thermal and visible imaging system that
provides a high resolution thermal image with a 5° view nested inside a wider 20° view. This image
presentation concept derived from human vision offers excellent situational awareness and long
range threat detection, simultaneously. This advanced payload is packaged in a precision pan/tilt
enclosure that will slew up to 120° per second. The system supports stand-alone or network
operation with a Nexus® interface.
The PTZ-35x140™ incorporates the latest in visible and uncooled thermal imager performance with
both IP networked control and video connectivity for installation into sophisticated emerging
security infrastructures and serial and analog connectivity for current widely proliferated
infrastructures. The Foveus™ thermal imagery is provided as continually zoomed video from 20°
horizontal field of view to less than 1 degree horizontal field of view. The thermal imagery is
presented in a novel blending of two thermal images to provide high resolution in the critical 5°
center area while simultaneously providing medium resolution in the 20° situational awareness zone.
This presentation is an application of the design of the human eye, with the foveal region of the
retina employing higher density detectors than the peripheral area, thus the moniker Foveus™.

LENS CLEANING
Materials:
•Optical-grade tissue (e.g., Edmund Industrial Optics part number 52105 or any similar
product)
•pure water (de-ionized or other)
•isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Procedure:
1. Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with the water and drape it over the lens. Let the
surface tension of the water pull the tissue onto the lens surface and then drag the tissue
across the lens surface. Repeat several times with different pieces of tissue.
2. Repeat the same step using IPA instead of water. Drag the final piece of tissue over the
lens several times to prevent pooling, which could leave a residue behind.

History of Infrared
Less than 200 years ago the existence of the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum wasn't even suspected.
The original significance of the infrared spectrum, or simply ‘the infrared’ as it is often called, as a form of heat
radiation is perhaps less obvious today than it was at the time of its discovery by Herschel in 1800.
Sir William Herschel (1738–1822)
The discovery was made accidentally during the search for a new optical material. Sir William Herschel—Royal
Astronomer to King George III of England, and already famous for his discovery of the planet Uranus—was
searching for an optical filter material to reduce the brightness of the sun’s image in telescopes during solar
observations. While testing different samples of colored glass which gave similar reductions in brightness he was
intrigued to find that some of the samples passed very little of the sun’s heat, while others passed so much heat that
he risked eye damage after only a few seconds’ observation.
Herschel was soon convinced of the necessity of setting up a systematic experiment, with the objective of finding a
single material that would give the desired reduction in brightness as well as the maximum reduction in heat. He
began the experiment by actually repeating Newton’s prism experiment, but looking for the heating effect rather
than the visual distribution of intensity in the spectrum. He first blackened the bulb of a sensitive mercury-in-glass
thermometer with ink, and with this as his radiation detector he proceeded to test the heating effect of the various
colors of the spectrum formed on the top of a table by passing sunlight through a glass prism. Other thermometers,
placed outside the sun’s rays, served as controls.
As the blackened thermometer was moved slowly along the colors of the spectrum, the temperature readings
showed a steady increase from the violet end to the red end. This was not entirely unexpected, since the Italian
researcher, Landriani, in a similar experiment in 1777 had observed much the same effect. It was Herschel,
