Default Watch out for reflections

Here is a good example of relection showing up in an IR image.

1) Picture of ceiling / wall interface. Radiant heating coils in the ceiling.

2) Same picture in IR. Note that there are no coils in the wall or in the room behind it (closet) and what you are seeing is the reflection off the wall of the IR coils in the ceiling.

OK to use for educational purposes.

Hope this helps;
