Teraoptronics, is a spin-off of the Radboud University of Nijmegen. They have developed the TeraCam, which is a terahertz camera which is operated like a conventional camera producing images which can be analyzed by a computer through a HDMI port. The company writes that the TeraCam does not need an active cooling mechanism, and requires only normal 150V or 220V from the wall.
