Sommario/riassunto

The book covers the fundamentals of what needs to be considered when using the brightness of a hot object as the method of determining its temperature. As the book covers detailed selection criteria for instrument components, typically this would be expected to be within a research project or a measurement laboratory, possibly an instrument manufacturer. Industrial users would be likely to buy a commercial instrument and follow the manufacturers' guidelines, but even in that situation an understanding of what the instrument is doing would be invaluable. This book would be helpful to anyone who plans to specify and/or make a radiation thermometer (or radiation pyrometer)--
