Bench-top black body instrument (a) set to 38 °C showing equivalent temperature measured with the camera lens positioned in front of the heat source and with pixel value obtained (at cross-hair) of 38 °C (b). Graph (c) shows results for reliability of the thermal camera across a temperature range (31-46 °C) revealing consistency between camera and black body source to within + 0.1o to 0.2 °C. Distance of camera lens from black body source has minimal effect on temperature readings (d)
