Free Thermography and camera use guides / books - The list :)

[Fraser]

Dear Reader,

I recently supplied a little list of free reading material on the topic of Thermography and thermal camera usage for a fellow forum member. That list is buried in another thread topic so I thought I would start a new Post dedicated to free Thermography guides and books that I have found on the internet.

Please feel free to add similar links to this thread as a link repository to benefit all.

For information, many manufacturers of thermal cameras produce guides to use of a thermal camera and Thermography. It s well worth searching their web sites for such free material. For the new entrant to this fascinating world of viewing thermal energy, these books and guides can answer a lot of questions and help produce good thermal images.

I have been asked about books on thermal imaging so thought I would bump this old thread that I produced. Hopefully most links remain valid.
