Chicken in a fridge, thermogram
Chicken in a fridge. Thermogram of a chicken in a refrigerator. The colours show variation in temperature. The scale runs from white (warmest) through red, yellow, green and blue to purple (coldest). The chicken has been placed in the fridge whilst still warm. Thermography records the temperature of surfaces by detecting long- wavelength infrared radiation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique perspective on the chilling process of food. A chicken, still radiating warmth, is placed inside a refrigerator, and its thermal journey is captured through the lens of thermography. The resulting image reveals an exquisite display of colors that represent varying temperatures. The scale employed in this thermogram starts with white, indicating the warmest areas, then transitions through shades of red, yellow, green, and blue before culminating in purple to denote the coldest regions. As we observe this mesmerizing visual representation of temperature variation within the fridge's confines, we gain insight into how different parts of the chicken respond to their new environment. Thermography itself operates by detecting long-wavelength infrared radiation emitted from surfaces. By recording these emissions as false-colored images using infra-red technology, it allows us to visualize heat distribution with precision. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper understanding of technological advancements in preserving perishable goods. This photograph serves as a reminder that our ability to control temperature plays a crucial role in maintaining food safety and quality. As we delve into this thought-provoking snapshot captured by Science Photo Library—depicting not only protein but also innovation—we are reminded of how science continually shapes our relationship with food and enhances our daily lives through cutting-edge discoveries like thermography.
