    Thermography: knowledge and practice

    1. Material and emissivity

    A thermal imaging camera measures the long-wave infrared radiation emitted by an object. How much infrared radiation is emitted (radiated by the object itself) depends on the surface of the material.

    Note: Every surface has a specific emissivity.

    Theoretical basics of thermography

    Find out more about the physical basics of thermography in our compact tutorial. A real advantage for e.g. B. to set the correct emissivity for each surface.
