FLIR infrared camera on voyage of discovery to create pure crystals
A thermographic camera from FLIR Systems was a key component in experiments to model crystal growth in space. And, although crystallisation under zero gravity conditions did not result in the level of crystal purity scientists expected, the FLIR camera system showed why many similar experiments in space were flawed, ultimately saving the considerable costs of pursuing this particular line of research.
