Thermal Images

September 16th 2016

 

At the end of November 2014 I decided to buy a FLIR E4 thermal imaging camera. I thought I'd share some of the images with the world.

Some of the images will be linked to electronics in general, my projects and kits, but there will also be plenty of others (expect a lot of my cats!). In fact, I'm going to take thermal images of everything I can find!

 

Testing the FLIR with a ZnSe lens (50mm focal length)

I bought a ZnSe lens off eBay for £22. Placing it in front of the FLIR's lens really improves the close-up performance, which on the stock E4 is around 45cm (1.5 feet).

Testing the FLIR with a ZnSe lens (101mm focal length)
