3. How this Thermometer measures Temperature

This thermometer measures infrared energy radiated from the
eardrum and the surrounding tissue. This energy is collected
through the lens and converted to a temperature value. The
measured reading obtained directly from the eardrum (Tympanic
Membrane) ensures the most accurate ear temperature.
