menu On the Thermal Imager, a menu is a list of choices you can make for settings, such as time,
date, color palette, span and emissivity.
microbolometer The type of thermal infrared detector used in the Thermal Imager. It is an array of 160 by 120
thermal sensors that respond to infrared radiation (IR).

pixel Picture element. One “dot” on the display or in a digital image. Many pixels are used to form
an image.
precision In a measurement device, precision is how close tightly grouped readings are. Accuracy
combines precision and how close the reading is to a perfect measuring device or a calibration
laboratory standard.
radiation, thermal Infrared emission from a target area. Thermal radiation intensity drops off predictably with
distance.
range The lowest measureable temperature to the highest measureable temperature.
