Typically, the total field of view is from 6 to 8 degrees high and from 12 to 18<br />

degrees wide, with spatial resolution of 2 mRad 10 mm at 2.0 m (0.4 in. at 7<br />

ft). Images are video recorded by means of a conventional video tape<br />

recorder output jack and video recorder accessories. The broad applications<br />

for thermal viewers are generally limited only to those in which the<br />

temperature measurements are not critical and recording quality does not<br />

need to be optimum. The combination of a thermal viewer (to locate thermal<br />

anomalies) and a hand held thermometer (to quantify them) can be a<br />

powerful and cost effective ombination.<br />
