  "textContent": "The days of dropping a thermal imaging camera and replacing an expensive lens are coming to an end with a new repairable lens developed by Flinders University scientists. The high-performance lens for infrared cameras invented by Flinders researchers is emerging as a lower cost, more sustainable option for industries which use thermal imaging cameras, including security and surveillance, medicine, electrical engineering, electronics, defense and autonomous vehicle operation.",
