ABSTRACT

In Germany, Marianus Czerny, the professor of physics at Goethe Institute Frankfurt University, laid foundations for the development of thermal sensors. One of his students in the USA, Bowling Barnes, built the first thermal imager based on thermistors in the 1950s.

Thermography in veterinary medicine was included in the first international symposium in New York 1963. Other early applications included animal physiology, animal models of physiological functions and pharmacology.
