Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Thermal cameras generally have only one channel, so the image depends only on the intensity of the radiation. The colours obtained depend on the intensity received. Each colour has its own intensity, which makes it easier to read directly on the screen. 2, record 1, English, - thermal%20imaging%20camera

Les caméras thermiques n'ont en général qu'un seul canal, l'image dépend alors uniquement de l'intensité du rayonnement. Les couleurs obtenues dépendent de l'intensité reçue. À chaque couleur correspond une intensité, ce qui facilite la lecture directe sur l'écran. 4, record 1, French, - cam%C3%A9ra%20thermique
