Thermal cameras, unlike traditional visible cameras, use heat rather than light to see an object, giving them a huge advantage over other imaging technologies. Using minute differences in infrared (IR) radiation they produce a high-contrast thermal image in complete darkness. It is unaffected by bright light and has the ability to see through obstructions such as smoke, dust, and light fog. This makes thermal ideal for a number of applications including but not limited to surveillance & ...This story is related to the following:Optics and Photonics Sponsored by: OFS Specialty Photonics Div - OFS Cat Sponsor for Vert Banner replacementSearch for suppliers of: Infrared Cameras
