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.
