We’ve reported on ATS’s Liquid Crystal Thermography<\/a> before and since our coverage, many other media outlets have covered it as well.\u00a0\u00a0 And for good reason, liquid crystal thermography can be very helpful in determining a device or other surface temperature where other methods may fail.\u00a0 There are other advantages as well:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Provides a quick visual qualitative observation of the surface temperature profile
\n\u2022 Can be calibrated with a digital colour camera and isothermal surface control to provide accurate quantative temperature fields to
\n+\/-\u00ad\u2010 0.1C
\n\u2022 Typically operate between -\u00ad\u201030C to 120C with bandwidths of 0.1C to 30C
\n\u2022 A High spatial resolution of around 1 micron, depends on camera opticcs
\n\u2022 Provides both transient and steady state surface temperature profiles
\n\u2022 A Fast time response of around 100ms
\n\u2022 Thermometry uses visible light and is independent of surface emissivity
\n\u2022 Relatively cheap technique: camera, recorder, lighting, etc\u2026<\/p>\n
