Olympus E-520 SLR Digital Camera (Camera Body)

We can modify this camera to be UV+Visible+IR,  IR-Only-715nm or Visible Hot Rod.  An UV+Visible+IR camera will see UV,  Infrared and Visible light after modification.  An IR-Only camera will only see IR from 715nm through 1200nmm or 830nm through 1200nm depending on the glass installed inside the camera. 

A Visible Hot-Rod camera will maximize the resolution and color depth of the camera at the expense of possible moire pattens.  Please see more about this conversion here.
