  • Publication number: 20140346377
    Abstract: A radiation thermometer is provided, comprising: a thermal radiation detector assembly having an operative surface area responsive to thermal radiation of a first wavelength; a focussing optics assembly adapted to focus both thermal radiation of the first wavelength and visible light of a second wavelength along an optical axis, the focussing optics assembly being configured to form a focussed image of the operative surface area of the thermal radiation detector assembly on a focal plane outside the radiation thermometer, the focussed image of the operative surface area defining a target region from which the thermal radiation detector assembly detects thermal radiation; a visible light source assembly adapted to exhibit an illuminated pattern of visible light of the second wavelength, the visible light source assembly comprising at least one visible light source and a mask through which light from the at least one visible light source is arranged to pass, the mask having one or more substantially opaque port
