How the Thermometers Work
Infrared thermometers measure the surface temperature of an
opaque object. The thermometer’s optics sense emitted, reflected,
and transmitted energy, which is collected and focused onto a
detector. The unit’s electronics translate the information into a
temperature reading which the unit displays. The laser is used for
aiming purposes only. See Figure 3.
