SensorMicro was founded with a simple but powerful belief: Innovation should serve real-world needs.

SensorMicro exists to empower people and systems to see beyond the surface—into the patterns, the problems, and the possibilities that lie beneath.

By turning invisible heat into visible truth, we help industries make smarter decisions, protect what matters most, and navigate complexity with clarity.

Heeding to our insistence on being self-made and customer-first has become a sure recipe for SensorMicro's momentum. As our business spans much of the globe, we've charged ahead on all fronts—from security, firefighting, industrial inspection, medical care, and machine vision, to environmental monitoring and key aspects of carbon neutrality—helping partners unlock the full potential of intelligent infrared sensing, and connecting the dots of life.

We are more than an infrared technology company. We are a community of people committed to building a sustainable, ethical, and human-centered future. Every pixel of innovation we create is a promise — a promise to protect, to empower, and to serve.

1.What is the difference between uncooled and cooled IR detectors?

There are currently two types of infrared thermal imaging sensors on the market, cooled and uncooled.

Uncooled IR detector operates at ambient temperature. It is based on semi-conductor industry and thus usually can be fabricated in big volume with small size and low cost. Uncooled IR detectors are widely used in portable/handheld/mobile devices.

Cooled IR detectors are packaged in a unit that keeps them at an extremely low temperature which shall be supported by a cryo cooler. They are much bigger, more expensive and less reliable than uncooled sensors, mainly due to the complex cooling systems they require. However, the cooled systems are incredibly sensitive and usually work with long focal length optics to achieve long range mission.
