Thermogram of a mans head in profile
Head. Thermogram of a mans head in profile showing variation in temperature. The temperature scale runs from red (warmest) through yellow, green, cyan and blue to mauve (coldest). Thermography is a technique for visualising the temperature of surfaces by recording their emission of long-wavelength infrared radiation. This heat radiation is detected electronically and displayed with different colours representing different temperatures. In this case the temperature variations on the surface of the skin are shown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a thermogram of a man's head in profile, revealing the intriguing variations in temperature across his skin. The color scale employed ranges from red, representing the warmest areas, to mauve, indicating the coldest regions. This mesmerizing image is an excellent example of thermography—an innovative technique that visualizes surface temperatures by capturing their emission of long-wavelength infrared radiation. By electronically detecting and displaying heat radiation with different colors denoting distinct temperatures, thermography provides valuable insights into thermal patterns on human bodies. In this particular case, we witness the fascinating temperature fluctuations present on the man's facial surface. The intricate details captured by this thermogram offer a glimpse into the complex anatomy and physiology of our heads. It serves as a reminder that beneath our seemingly uniform appearance lies an intricate network of warmth distribution unique to each individual. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this stunning image without any commercial intent. Instead, they aim to highlight the scientific significance and beauty found within such visuals—showcasing how technology can unravel hidden aspects of our own bodies through non-invasive means like heat sensing. In conclusion, this remarkable photograph invites us to contemplate both the marvels of human biology and cutting-edge scientific techniques that enable us to perceive them in new ways.
