It's fixed-focussed so may not be able to resolve parts on a PC board. Flir makes the affordable ones hard or impossible to focus, on purpose.
FLIRs that can focus close, at component level, are expensive. Ours cost $12K.

FLIR gave us a benchtop unit to evaluate, but it's useless for electronics, apparently by design. Nobody uses it.

I have a FLIR One Pro that attaches to an iPhone. It's model
436-0012-03, it cost iirc $300 on the jungle website, and it's super useful for debugging.Cheers

Sounds handy. Can it resolve parts on a PCB?
Mostly. It overlays a skeleton derived from a visible camera, so you can sort of see what you're doing. I'll dig out a zinc sulfide lens from someplace and see if I can make it focus closer.

So what then is 'focus free'. Is it the same as what phil is describing?
