Thermogram of a meteorite
Thermogram of a meteorite. The warm meteorite is highly visible due to the difference in temperature. The different colors represent different temperatures on the object. The lightest colors are the hottest temperatures, while the darker colors represent a cooler temperature. Thermography uses special cameras that can detect light in the far-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (900?14,000 nanometers or 0.9?14 µm) and creates an image of the objects temperature..
