Thermal Imaging

Hunting and wildlife observation is like the start of the classic recipe for rabbit stew – first catch your rabbit or, at least, find it. The new Thermal Master T2 Max thermal scope makes that job a bit easier with its high resolution system. Let's take a look.

Compact electronics have become the norm, but there's still room for surprise. The Thermal Master P2 certainly fits in that category. It's one of the smallest thermal imaging cameras on the market, but it packs a lot of functions into its compact volume.

Thermal Master sent us the new NV300 thermal imaging unit for your car to give it a thorough test and a review. These are my thoughts: A thermal imaging dash cam is pretty darn tootin' cool. The NV300 just misses the mark though.

At the National Tactical Officers Association annual conference in Kansas City, Missouri, Bounce Imaging has unveiled what it claims is the world’s first 360° panoramic thermal-imaging tactical throwable camera for the military and law enforcement.

Parrot has launched a rugged drone for first responders and enterprise operators. The Anafi USA features a 32x zoom 4K HDR camera and FLIR thermal camera, can fly for up to 32 minutes per charge and has a top speed of 13.42 mph.

Firefighting teams tend to carry hand-held devices to help them see in harsh, smoky conditions, but an American company has built edge-detecting thermal vision into a single eye heads-up display inside the breathing mask for hands-free use.

Saturn sports an impressive ring system, but Uranus also has some, although they’re usually too faint to see without a powerful telescope. Striking new images shows these rings in very clear detail thanks to thermal imaging, allowing astronomers to measure their temperature for the first time.

​The European nightjar is a protected species in the UK, so when forestry or construction work is planned to take place in their habitat, ecologists first need to check for nesting sites. A new study suggests that drones could make the task much easier, and do a better job at spotting the birds.

​In the movie "Predator," Arnold Schwarzenegger hid from an alien's night vision system by covering himself in mud. He might have found things much easier, however, if he'd had access to a newly-developed thermal camouflage material.

A new device called the sKan has won the 2017 international James Dyson Award. The sKan makes heat maps of the skin to identify anomalies associated with melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, to enable earlier detection.

To combat the lack of visibility in smoke-filled buildings, Scott Safety has come up with the Scott Sight, a lightweight thermal imaging system integrated into a firefighter breathing mask to provide individual firefighters with real-time thermal images.

Many people in the thralls of a new relationship may find themselves wondering, "Does he/she really love me?". Well, if those people have access to a thermal imaging camera, they may just get their answer.
