Abstract

A thermal imaging system for medical purpose has been developed. The primary mirror of the optical system is a spherical reflection mirror. A hexagonal prism is used as a scanner to obtain a large field of view. Every picture has 90.000 resolution elements. The temperature resolution is better than 0.2°C. The instrument displays various modes of thermograms and can give the real temperature by three digit numbers. It has now been approved for production.
