laser thermometer

Contactless heat measurer

A laser thermometer is a device that measures temperature from a distance by detecting infrared radiation emitted by a surface.

The laser serves only to aim—the actual measurement uses an infrared sensor.

Also called an infrared thermometer or temperature gun: She pointed the laser thermometer at his forehead.
