Thermogram of a man smoking a pipe

Thermogram of a man smoking a pipe, showing an increase in facial skin temperature. Thermography maps the pattern of heat distribution over the body surface to give a colour-coded image that shows variation in temperature. In this image, the temperature reference disc at left is calibrated at 32 degrees C. with each colour representing a step of 0.5 degrees C. White areas are hottest (the pipe bowl), varying through yellow, orange, purple, green to blue/black (coolest)

Smoking Temperature Thermogram Thermograph Thermography

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intriguing world of thermography, showcasing a man smoking a pipe. Through the lens of this thermal imaging technique, we witness an increase in facial skin temperature as depicted by vibrant colors on the image. Thermography is a powerful tool that maps heat distribution patterns across the body's surface, resulting in a mesmerizing color-coded representation of temperature variations. In this particular thermogram, we observe a reference disc on the left side calibrated at 32 degrees Celsius. Each distinct color represents a precise step of 0.5 degrees Celsius, allowing us to decipher and appreciate even subtle changes in temperature. The hottest areas are portrayed as brilliant white regions, with our focus drawn to the scorching heat emanating from the bowl of the pipe itself. As our eyes wander across this visual masterpiece, we encounter an array of hues ranging from yellow to orange and purple before transitioning into cooler shades like green and blue-black. This spectrum signifies varying levels of warmth throughout different parts of the face captured by thermography. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies an opportunity for scientific exploration into human anatomy and physiology. By harnessing thermographic technology, researchers can delve deeper into understanding how smoking impacts facial skin temperature and potentially uncover hidden insights about its effects on overall health. This thought-provoking print serves as both artistry and science combined – offering viewers an immersive experience into the fascinating world of thermography while igniting curiosity about our own bodies' intricate workings.
