This richly illustrated hands-on guide is designed for researchers, teachers and practitioners. The huge selection of examples taken from science, basic teaching of physics, practical applications in industry and a variety of other disciplines spanning the range from medicine to volcano research allows readers to pick those that come closest to their own individual task at hand. Following a look at the fundamentals of IR thermal imaging, properties of the imaging systems, as well as basic and advanced methods, the book goes on to discuss IR imaging applications in teaching, research and industry. Specific examples include thermography of buildings, microsystems and the rather new field of IR imaging of gases.

Impartially written by expert authors in the field from a renowned applied science institution, who are in the unique position of having both experience in public and private research and in teaching, this comprehensive book can be used for teaching beginners in the field as well as providing further education to specialized staff, students and researchers.

Recensione:

...
This hardcover, richly illustrated hands-on guide is specifically written in an understandable style for practitioners in the field of IR imaging, for physics and science teachers and for researchers. The authors ? both professors at the University of Applied Sciences Brandenburg (Germany) ? comment: ?There is today the paradox of more cameras being sold worldwide than there are technicians understanding the physics behind them, let alone being able to properly interpret the colourful images generated.?
...
Even the specialised reader finds extensive background knowledge of a great deal of aspects in a wide field of application domains. The specific contents of the cases discussed give readers, as technicians, an additional tool which they can use to select cases that suit their everyday needs.

Insbesondere eine vergleichende Darstellung der verschiedenen Detektortypen (Photonendetektoren,
Mikrobolometer) ist in dieser komprimierten und praxisnahen Form an anderer Stelle kaum zu finden. ...
Von besonderem Wert sind in diesem Buch ... die vielen Tipps aus der Praxis, die auch die zahlreichen M�glichkeiten einer Fehlinterpretation thermographischer
Bilder aufzeigen und den weniger erfahrenen Benutzer vor
Fehlern bewahren. ...
Insgesamt kann ich dieses Buch allen Lesern empfehlen, die sich einen �berblick �ber die Thermographie verschaffen und Hilfen f�r die t�gliche Praxis aus ihm ziehen wollen, oder die als erfahrene Nutzer �ber den eigenen Tellerrand hinaus blicken m�chten.

?Infrared Thermal Imaging? von Michael Vollmer und Klaus-Peter M�llmann ist das beste Buch zur IR-W�rmebildtechnik, das f�r Techniker und Ingenieure als Anwender auf dem Markt verf�gbar ist. Es sollte eigentlich jeder W�rmebildkamera beiliegen. Und es ist nach meiner Kenntnis das einzige Buch, das Lehrern und Hochschullehrern konkrete Angebote zur p�dagogischen Nutzung der IR-Technik f�r den naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht bietet.

It is the usual perception that the use of IR cameras for
educational purposes is limited primarily to help visualize processes in thermodynamics such as heat conduction, evaporation, radiation and convection. In this book the authors show that the range of pedagogical applications of IR cameras is much wider. ...

Readers who may want to repeat the experiments will appreciate the colour IR photos that are equipped with temperature scales from which one may learn which settings to use in order to achieve the best visibility of the phenomena to be observed. ...

One can only wish that future authors of similar books will try to meet the standards set by this one.

L'autore:

Michael Vollmer received his PhD degree for the studies of clusters on surfaces, and his ha-bilitation on optical properties of metal clusters from the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Later assignments were with the University of Kassel, Germany, the university of California in Berkeley, USA, as well as with various institutions in the United States and Asia during sabbaticals. His research interests include atmospheric optics, spectroscopy, infrared thermal imaging, and the didactics of physics. Professor Vollmer has authored one science book and co-authored a scienti? c monograph and about 140 scienti? c papers.

Klaus-Peter M?llmann received his PhD from the Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany, studying strongly doped narrow band semiconductors at low temperatures and later, for his habilitation, MCT photo detectors. He subsequently held positions with the Humboldt Uni-versity and with several businesses in industry. Professor M?llmann?s research interests include MEMS technology, infrared thermal imaging, and spectroscopy. He is the co-author of about 100 scienti? c and didactical papers.

Both authors are professors of experimental physics at the University of Applied Sciences in Brandenburg, Germany.
