Santa Barbara Infrared Inc. (SBIR), a manufacturer of advanced infrared (IR) and electro-optical (E-O) test 
Source: Santa Barbara Infrared Inc.hardware for medical, aerospace and defense applications, has introduced the Nightingale Body Temperature Reference Blackbody System for human body temperature detection.
The innovative blackbody system provides a highly stable, uniform, low-cost and easy-to-operate thermal source for the detection of human body temperatures. Specially designed for use in thermal imaging body-temperature screening systems, SBIR has developed this system to work utilizing a convenient, viewable, thermal reference area for infrared camera systems.
Nightingale features include a “set and forget” temperature-programming function that is configurable to Celsius or Fahrenheit, with settable temperature ranges, above ambient, from 30° C to 45° C (86° F to 113° F). SBIR’s thermal source/blackbody system has a 3 in x 3 in emitting aperture, a USB communication interface, and average emissivity of greater than 0.950 midwave infrared (MWIR) through long-wave infrared (LWIR). Other features include temperature accuracy of ±0.15° C (±0.3° F), temperature stability of ±0.05° C (±0.1° F), and uniformity of ±0.15° C (±0.3° F) over central 1.5 in x 1.5 in region of interest.
