Mikron has once again raised the bar on thermal imaging with the introduction of the Mikron 7600 PRO. This high resolution and high performance, hand-held IR camera offers capabilities that far exceed any IR camera on the market today. The Mikron M7600 PRO is an extremely lightweight, fully-radiometric camera with built-in visual imaging capabilities. With its newly developed high-performance UFPA detector and built-in visual camera, linking thermal and visual images for easy data storage, analysis and post processing has never been more efficient.
The Mikron M7600 PRO is ergonomically designed for comfortable one-handed point-and-shoot operation using simple joystick operation, an intuitive menu system, five direct access buttons, viewfinder and high-quality flip out LCD display.
It includes on-board digital voice recording and has the ability to simultaneously record high-definition 14-bit thermal images with digital visual images.

( 2.4 / 483 )This article, from the National Cancer Institute, reveals a side of infrared thermography that most do not know exists. Midwest Infrared Services, LLC dose not offer this service, as it takes very specialized medical training and licensing to perform this most valuable service, but found it to be informative and interesting. We therefore decided to add this to our news page for your interest.
This year over 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and over 40,000 women will die. Medical Infrared Thermal Imaging can detect certain cancers 10 years before a mammogram with over a 90% accuracy and without the discomfort, errors, and radiation associated with mammography.
According to the National Cancer Institute:
• 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime.
• Over 30% of women are diagnosed after breast cancer has spread beyond the localized stage.
• When breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the 5-year survival rate is 98%
There are four ways in which Medical Thermography services help physicians and their breast cancer patients:
• offers a breast screening option for women reluctant to radiation methods
• enables very early breast cancer detection – even with negative mammogram
• provides compelling physiological data useful in determining the necessity for biopsy following suspicious/inconclusive mammogram
• monitors estrogen activity in the breasts

On October 1, 2008, our Chief Thermographer, Bob Winship, completed the necessary course work and examination to achieve his Level III status as a Certified Thermographer from the Infraspection Institute. Bob received his Level II in May, 2007 from the Academy of Infrared Training and his Level I in November, 2004, also from the Academy of Infrared Training.
