Fluke Ti450 Infrared Camera Takes Focus to New Level of Clarity with MultiSharp Focus

The new Fluke® Ti450 Infrared Camera takes focus to a new level of clarity with MultiSharp™ Focus. An out-of-focus thermal image can give you data that may lead to misdiagnosis — potentially costing you thousands — with no way to correct it once it has been captured, short of taking new images. The new Fluke® Ti450 Infrared Camera solves this problem by delivering images automatically focused throughout the field of view.
