What is an Infra-Red thermometer and how does it work?
Your body heat can be measured by special sensors designed to pick up the infra-red radiation emitted by your body. An infra-red thermometer contains one of these sensors as well as an electronic system to convert this information into temperature.The great advantage of these thermometers is that they allow you to take an extremely accurate measurement with optimal comfort. The temperature is taken in only 1-2 seconds and there is no need to undress or wake up a sick child.
