Thermogram of a woman in a supermarket
Supermarket. Thermogram of a woman pushing a shopping trolley in a supermarket. The image shows variation in temperature. The temperature scale runs from red (warmest) through yellow, green, cyan and blue to mauve (coldest). Thermography is a technique for visualising the temperature of surfaces by recording the emission of long-wavelength infrared radiation. This heat radiation is detected electronically and displayed with different colours representing different temperatures. The contrast of the warm body temperature of the shopper and the cold freezer compartments (blue and mauve) is clearly shown here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library captures a unique perspective of a woman in a bustling supermarket. The image showcases the power of thermography, as it reveals the variation in temperature across different surfaces. In this particular scene, we see the woman pushing her shopping trolley amidst aisles filled with products. The temperature scale depicted ranges from red (indicating warmth) to mauve (representing coldness). This visual representation allows us to witness the contrast between the warm body temperature of the shopper and the frigid freezer compartments. Thermography is an innovative technique that utilizes long-wavelength infrared radiation to visualize surface temperatures. By electronically detecting heat radiation and assigning distinct colors to different temperatures, thermographic images provide valuable insights into thermal patterns. The juxtaposition of vibrant hues against cooler shades emphasizes how our bodies emit heat while interacting with our surroundings. It serves as a reminder of our constant exchange with the environment, even during routine activities like grocery shopping. This thought-provoking photograph not only highlights scientific advancements but also invites contemplation on human anatomy and our relationship with temperature. Through this lens, we gain a deeper appreciation for both technology's ability to capture unseen phenomena and humanity's intricate connection to its surroundings.
