  • Means and apparatus for rapid, accurate, non-contacting measurement of the core temperature of animals and humans
    Patent number: 8303514
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the core temperature of an animal or human. Thermal black body emissions from the eyeball are detected, at one or more wavelengths selected on the basis of various factors, including the ability of that wavelength to reach the interior of the eyeball. An illumination marker shines a spot of light on the eyeball, such that the spot corresponds to the area from which emissions are being detected.
