Observed with our thermal imager (with emissivity set to 1), the metal<br />

appears to vary in temperature from about 74 ºF to 87 ºF. This seems to<br />

make sense, since the block could have picked up a little heat from our hands<br />

during handling. Actually, the metal block is very uniform in temperature. The<br />

apparent hot spot is a reflection <strong>of</strong> my face on the surface <strong>of</strong> the metal. Can<br />

you see my eye glasses in the image? (Figure IR2)<br />
