To Know An InfiRay Thermal Imaging Scope 
	
 
	A thermal scope is an ocular device that can be held, strapped to a helmet, 
environmental protection mask, fire arm or many other devices. A thermal
 scope allows the user to see in darkness, smoke, rain or fog. Its 
design purpose was for military forces to use during night operations 
but there are also many civilian applications as well. 
	
 
	Unlike image enhancement 
(the green light night vision devices), they do not rely on any light 
sources. A thermal imager gathers the infrared energy that is emitted by
 objects and then produces the image. The quality is much clearer than 
image enhancement technology. They scopes can be cooled or uncooled. The
 uncooled variety is the most common. They can be operated at ambient 
temperatures and are more portable. The uncooled thermal scopes rely on a
 cryocooler to mute any thermal noise created from the scope. The result
 is a much crisper image with incredible detail. This type of technology
 is quite expensive and the higher resolution models are not currently 
available for sale. Property owners are starting to utilize this 
technology for many reasons. As a security option, it adds an extra 
layer of protection to camera monitoring systems. Some models can see 
farther than 20 miles and since they do not emit any light, they are 
nearly impossible to detect. It can easily see into the darkest corners 
or spot intruders hiding in debris or foliage. Many homeowners concerned
 about their heating or air conditioning bills hire energy auditors who 
use them to locate the cracks where the air is escaping. They can also 
be used to spot any effluents leaks from the structure or even 
condensation spots to aid in mold eradication. 
 
 
	
	They
 can be found at all levels of society. They are commonly used in search
 and rescue operations. Firefighters can benefit from the use of a 
thermal scope in situations where rooms are filled with smoke. There are
 many useful purposes for them in medical research as well. Some 
airports have started adding thermal technology to their security 
systems to screen passengers for high body temperatures which could be a
 sign of a contagious virus such as the H1N1. Archeologists use thermal 
scopes in aerial searches for ruins and even paranormal investigators 
are using them these days. As thermal scope technology continues to 
improve, we will start see even more exciting applications.
