Microbolometer — A microbolometer is a specific type of bolometer used as a detector in a thermal camera. Infrared radiation with wavelengths between 7.5 14 μm strikes the detector material, heating it, and thus changing its electrical resistance. This resistance … Wikipedia
Bolometer — A bolometer is a device for measuring the energy of incident electromagnetic radiation. It was invented in 1878 by the American astronomer Samuel Pierpont Langley.It consists of an absorber connected to a heat sink (area of constant temperature)… … Wikipedia
Thermographic camera — A thermographic camera, sometimes called a FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed), or an infrared camera less specifically, is a device that forms an image using infrared radiation, similar to a common camera that forms an image using visible light.… … Wikipedia
Infrared detector — An infrared detector is a photodetector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic.The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena … Wikipedia
Microfluidics — deals with the behavior, precise control and manipulation of fluids that are geometrically constrained to a small, typically sub millimeter, scale. Typically, micro means one of the following features: small volumes (nl, pl, fl) small size low… … Wikipedia

Microtechnology — is technology with features near one micrometre (one millionth of a metre, or 10−6 metre, or 1μm). In the 1960s, scientists learned that by arraying large numbers of microscopic transistors on a single chip, microelectronic circuits could be… … Wikipedia
Thermography — Infrared Thermography, thermal imaging, or thermal video, is a type of infrared imaging science. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 900 ndash;14,000 nanometers or 0.9 ndash;14 µm) … Wikipedia
