Description:

A sensor that converts thermal radiation to a voltage. Works best when connected to the Keithly Electrometer. When the sensor is directed at a warm or hot surface a positive voltage is observed. When it is pointed at a cold surface, like a beaker of ic e water, a negative voltage is observed.
