THERMAL IMAGING SYSTEMS

Thermal imaging systems "see" the heat generated by objects including humans and animals. Unlike image intensified systems such as night vision scopes that amplify low levels of visible light such as star light, thermal imaging systems sense thermal energy emitted by objects. This technology allows these systems to "see" in zero light since they "see" heat (infrared energy) rather than light.
