Trusting measurements from instruments can be difficult without a clear understanding of how the sensitivity and accuracy is derived. Many times, infrared camera measurement accuracy is confusing and can involve misleading jargon. Researchers who don’t understand these complex terms sometimes avoid the tools altogether and miss out on potential advantages of thermal measurement for R&D applications.
This article strips away the technical terms and explains measurement uncertainty in plain language.
Not all thermal cameras are created equal. And often the question is, "Should I use a cooled or an uncooled thermal imaging system and which one is the most cost effective?
This application note describes how to use a variety of low-cost materials to increase target emissivity in many industrial R&D and electrical applications.
Why did I get this? From time to time, we hand-pick articles that we feel may be of interest to you based on the content you’ve read on Photonics Online. I hope you enjoy these pieces and I welcome feedback on how we can improve our editorial offerings.
