Page 29: Principle Of Thermal Imaging
When the temperature of the material equals that of its surroundings, the amount of thermal radiation absorbed by the object equals the amount emitted by the object. Principle of Thermal Imaging • 29 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual... -
Page 30: Blackbody Radiation
It does not reflect or transmit any IR energy. Perfect blackbody surfaces do not exist in nature. Where, = total radiant energy emitted by a body at a given temperature T. = total radiant energy emitted by a blackbody at the same temperature T. Principle of Thermal Imaging • 30 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual... - Page 31 In radiation of a normal object, as the emissivity is (<1) times of the blackbody, multiply above equation by the emissivity. The following figures show the spectral radiant emittance of a blackbody. (a) is shown by logarithmic scale and (b) is shown by linear scale.

Page 32: Blackbody Type Source And Emissivity
L, if L/r is equal or more than 6, it is used as a blackbody-type source for practical use. The following figure shows an example of a blackbody-type source based on blackbody conditions. Principle of Thermal Imaging • 32 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual... -
Page 33: Determining Emissivity
An object, resembling a blackbody, is attached to a heat source to make the temperature of the blackbody part and the measuring object the same. The ratio of infrared radiation energies are then determined as in #2 above. Principle of Thermal Imaging • 33 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual... -
Page 34: Background Noise
There are a number of methods for correcting emissivity in order to obtain the true temperature. The correction procedure with each method will be explained next. Note: If you already know the emissivity, you can make thermal imaging measurements immediately. Principle of Thermal Imaging • 34 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual... - Page 35 But one must be careful about the number of reflections and/or the measuring angle. A small change in angle will reduce the emissivity enhancement. Measuring by Wedge effect Principle of Thermal Imaging • 35 MCS640 Thermal Imager Manual...
