Thermal imaging is amazing! I was playing with one in the basement, looking at pipes and then I saw a big white spot in the area of the stove up in the kitchen. Worring that something was wrong (no heat source should be there) I ran upstairs to find a cat asleep on the rug in front of the stove.
This was a glaring big, bright white spot. But, I was seeing it through a thick braided rug, 3/8" of ceramic tiles, 3/4" plywood underlayment and then 3/4" of tong-and-grove flooring. Amazing. I also used such a camera to find hidden angled studs behind very thick 100 year old plaster and lath walls. Simply put a 1000W light on the far side, came back in an hour, and it was like xray vision. I could clearly see all the complexity of the studs.

Wow, hat's a great observation. Question: is it significant that the IR image also shows heat emanating vertically, appearing to be relatively uniform ?
