Note detail on the horse image and the various areas of hot and cold associated with the animal's head and neck regions.

The images on this page are just a few examples of various animal subjects. They have been taken with the Teletherm infrared imaging system which operates in the optimum 8-12 micron range of the infrared spectrum. It is also a radiometric device which means it shows the temperature values at any location on the image.
