How does a thermal imaging camera work?
Thermal imaging cameras are based on the same principle as the pyrometer. These cameras capture the radiation spectrum of an object, which then allows conclusions to be drawn about the temperature...
How does a infrared thermometer (pyrometer) work?
Pyrometers (infrared thermometers) use the heat radiation of objects invisible to the human eye to determine the temperature!
The thermometers presented in the previous articles must directly touch the object from which...
