Microbolometer: Technology, Manufacturers of microbolometer arrays by volume & Detecting materials
A microbolometer is a specific type of bolometer used as a detector in a thermal camera. Infrared radiation with wavelengths between 7.5–14 μm strikes the detector material, heating it, and thus changing its electrical resistance. This resistance change is measured and processed into temperatures which can be used to create an image. Unlike other types…

Related concept clusters Concept neighborhoods
Concept neighborhoods group terms that sit near one another in the extracted graph. They are useful for discovering adjacent language and context, but proximity does not by itself imply a factual relationship.
The concept neighborhoods around Microbolometer bring nearby vocabulary together. In this analysis, examples include Array, Pixels and Thermal. Use the clusters to find adjacent concepts and terminology that may deserve separate research.
