Infrared Thermography

Picture of ST Electronics

To quote part of the web page at our companion website, About Temperature Sensors, (on SARS Temperature Sensors from 2004). Primarily, Infrared Thermal Imagers are used in screening people for elevated body temperature. While not the most precise method to measure human body temperature, infrared thermal imagers or scanners are good at determining if someone [...]

Cutting Temperature Measurements of Segmented Chips using Dual-Spectrum High-Speed Microvideography

By Heigel, J. C., Ivester, R. W., Whitenton, E. P., NIST, Transactions of NAMRI/SME, Vol. 36, pp. 73-80, (May 2008). ABSTRACT: Dual-Spectrum high speed microvideography involves the use of synchronized high speed visible light (30,000 frames/s) and infrared (600 frames/s) cameras.
