Reply to: RE>FW: Infrared Viewers Keith -
While I don't have any direct experience with IR imagers and their related analysis software, I would suggest getting your hands on some trade magazines, such as Photonics Spectra, Lasers and Optronics, etc. There are at least a few vendors that make very sophisticated products using CCDs, specifically designed for the measurement of temperature. The only one that comes to mind immediately is Aegema (very pricey) (I'm not sure about the second "e"), but there are others. These can run into the multiple of $k10 range, depending on what you're after. Infraspect (I don't have their address) has a thermography guide and offers training and "certification" courses. The 1995-1996 Cole-Parmer catalog has IR thermometers, beginning from around $200.00, as does Omega Engineering. There are, no doubt, others. I know this wasn't much help, but perhaps it's a starting point to work from. Good luck Regards, Peter L.

I am thinking in terms of checking motors, pumps, electrical switch gear, transformers, etc. We have a temperature "gun" that we can read surface temperatures, but it doesn't give the ability to detect or "see" variations very easily.
