Thermal Cameras by Amit Salkar
(Contd. from page 1...)
There are two basic types of thermal cameras viz; Un-cooled and Cryogenically cooled. In the former type, the infrared-detector elements are equipped in a unit that operates at room temperature. This type of a camera does not make any noise, activates immediately and has an in-built battery.
The Cryogenically cooled type of thermal camera are more expensive and more liable to damage from rough use. It has the elements contained inside a container that cools them to below 32 F (zero C). Its incredible resolution and sensitivity help in viewing a difference as small as 0.2 F (0.1 C) from more than 1,000 ft (300 m) away, which is sufficient to tell whether a person is holding a gun at such a huge distance!
