Infrared thermometers are the most common tool used for non-contact temperature measurements. Another common tool is thermal imagers which have wider and more sophisticated features. Infrared thermometers and thermal imagers are similar in the fact they both detect infrared radiation and turn it into a temperature reading. However, thermal imagers have several advantages compared to infrared thermometers.
