 Compared to the Lepton 3.5 it doesnt offer temperatur measurements, but we are not interested in it anyway so we can use the 3.0 version. Lepton 3.5 cannot be shipped in corona times anyway. Compared to the Lepton 3.5 it doesnt offer temperatur measurements, but we are not interested in it anyway so we can use the 3.0 version.

 ''Needs special material as glas blocks IR. Common materials for LWIR windows include silicon, germanium, and zinc selenide (LWIR absorption in silicon is on the order of 15%/mm, which means NEDT is adversely affected using a silicon window. Bulk absorption in germanium and zinc selenide is negligible, and performance is essentially unchanged provided both surfaces of the window are anti-reflection (AR) coated.)'' ''Needs special material as glas blocks IR.

 +''It should be stated that occasional water, be it fresh or salt, does not damage Germanium lenses if they are rinsed and dried afterwards. Fire fighting cameras regularly get drenched in water and the camera lens protector just needs to be gently cleaned and dried after the shout.'' from https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/death-of-a-camera-by-drowning-!-flir-vue-its-vulnerabilities-and-death/msg1306467/#msg1306467

 +The lens dampens the intensity of the heat by at least ~40%, whis is roughly in line with the chart above.

 +It also created a lens center spot effect in the center of the image. We need to see if this might cause problems.

 Its visible, that thin plastics are a option. The actual thinnest one doesnt protect at all, its too thin. But maybe we can find some cheap fitting material, or we use the professional thermal plastics. Its visible, that thin plastics are a option.

 +===== Calibration =====
 +
 +  * Images of water are more cold at center than edges
 +    * Due to vignetting

 +  * Flat field calibration
 +    * Build avg frame over multiple frames and save flat_field_calib
 +    * frame_corrected = frame_raw - flat_field_calib
