Thermogram of man

Thermogram of the head and upper torso of a naked man. Thermography is an imaging technique for mapping the heat distribution over the surface of a body. Here, the colour-coded image shows temperature variation in 0.1 degree celsius steps (see scale at left), where blue corresponds to the colder areas and yellow corresponds to the hotter areas. Thermography has proved useful in manufacturing and medicine (where it may reveal disorders such as tumours and arthritis). It was developed by the military in the 1970s and 1980s to assist night vision; the solid state sensors used in the thermograph can detect infra-red radiation even in darkness and/or smoke

Heat Naked Nude Temperature Thermogram Thermograph Thermography Torso

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thermogram of a naked man, specifically focusing on his head and upper torso. The image is color-coded to display temperature variations in precise 0.1 degree Celsius increments, with blue representing colder areas and yellow indicating hotter regions. Thermography, the imaging technique employed here, has proven invaluable in both manufacturing and medicine fields. In medical applications, thermography can unveil underlying disorders such as tumors and arthritis by mapping heat distribution across the body's surface. Developed by the military during the 1970s and 1980s to enhance night vision capabilities, this technology employs solid-state sensors capable of detecting infrared radiation even in complete darkness or smoke-filled environments. Beyond its military origins, thermography has found extensive use within various industries due to its ability to visualize temperature differences accurately. This particular photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into human anatomy while highlighting normal skin temperatures throughout the subject's head and upper torso. The Science Photo Library presents this remarkable visual representation without any commercial intent but rather aims to emphasize the scientific significance behind thermographic imaging. By capturing heat patterns on a person's body with precision and detail, this photograph exemplifies how science continues to unravel new possibilities for understanding our physical well-being.
