a 12micron will not present a better image than the 17 micron. The 17um will "absorb" more information due to its larger surface area. If you have two units, one with a 17um and the other with 12um, the 17 will give you a more detailed image. 12um have its benefits being cheaper to produce and can be built in a smaller unit, but to say that it automaticly will give you a better image than a 17um is wrong. great video!
The difference between 12um and 17um is the dynamic range.. 12um has much dynamic range and contrast.. 17um can see and detect much far way. "I already have a 17um InfiRay thermal camera"
Very informative. Have you checked out the new Pulsar Telos LRF xp50 and if so, is it significantly better than the Helion? ( forgetting about the LRF function)
