Description of the colour palettes
Different colour palettes can be used to display the temperature differences of the infrared image.
The PCE-TC 33N offers five colour palettes common for thermographic images: spectrum
(rainbow), iron, cold, white (hot), black (hot).
The coloured palettes work best with large temperature differences and provide additional
coloured contrast. For some images, black and white images are nevertheless more suitable.
Test on a case-by-case basis which colour palette offers the best representation.
Here the infrared images of a component are shown with the different colour palettes:
