1.2.5. OPTICAL FUNCTIONS
The optical functions include an objective lens, thermal imaging
detector and eyepiece. Infrared energy is emitted proportionally
to the temperature of an object. The warmer the object, the more
energy it emits. The infrared energy from the objects is focused by
the optics, onto an infrared detector. The information from infrared
detector is passed to electronics for image processing. The sig-
nal processing circuitry translates the infrared detector data into
an image that can be viewed on the built-in display. The image is
observed through an eyepiece by operator.
