Woman drinking, thermogram
Woman drinking a cold drink, thermogram. A thermogram shows the variation in temperature on the surface of an object, measured by the long-wave infrared radiation it emits. The temperature scale is colour-coded and runs from purple (coldest), through blue, green, yellow and orange to red (warmest)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a woman enjoying a refreshing cold drink. However, what makes this image truly fascinating is the overlay of colors that represent variations in temperature on her body's surface. Known as a thermogram, this visual representation showcases the long-wave infrared radiation emitted by different parts of her anatomy. The color scale used in this thermogram ranges from purple (indicating the coldest areas) to red (representing the warmest regions). As we observe closely, we can see how her body reacts to the cooling sensation of the beverage she is consuming. The blue and green hues indicate areas where her skin feels slightly chilled, while yellow and orange tones suggest moderate warmth. Thermography, which utilizes an infrared camera to capture these thermal patterns, provides valuable insights into human biology and temperature regulation. By studying such images, researchers gain a deeper understanding of our bodies' ability to radiate heat and maintain insulation. In this particular photograph taken by Science Photo Library, we witness not only a momentary pleasure but also an intriguing display of our own physiological responses. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane activities like drinking can be transformed into mesmerizing scientific art through innovative techniques like false coloring and infrared imaging.
