Boson+ 320 & 640

See the faintest heat, in the same tiny package.

The Boson+ keeps the same footprint and integration path as the Boson but sees fainter heat signatures, with sensitivity down to 20 mK versus 50 mK on the standard Boson. That extra sensitivity matters most in low-contrast scenes, fog, smoke, and detecting small targets. It is a plug-and-play upgrade of the same platform, so an integration built for the Boson drops straight in.

UNIT · BOSON-PLUS-320-640

Overview

When the scene is low-contrast — fog, smoke, low ΔT targets — sensitivity is everything. The Boson+ delivers NEdT of ≤20 mK, well beyond the standard Boson's 50 mK, while remaining a drop-in match for the same mechanical and electrical interface.

It's the upgrade path for existing Boson designs and the right starting point for any new program where seeing the faint signature first matters.
