Thermal MagIC: Digging into the Details of an Ambitious New ‘Thermometry Camera’

Diagram of the series of tiny wells and the magnetic particle image itself
Left: Diagram of the series of tiny wells, in clusters of fours, filled with solution. Each well in a foursome is spaced away from the other wells by a certain amount, anywhere from 0.1 mm (very close together) to 1 mm (further apart). Right: The magnetic particle image itself, showing distinctions between the wells spaced farther apart but not between the wells spaced close together. The dashed red circle in both images shows the foursome of wells spaced 0.5 mm apart.

Thermometers can do a lot of things: Measure the temperature at the center of your perfectly braised chicken or tell you whether to keep your child home from school due to illness. But because of their size, traditional thermometers’ uses are still limited.

“How do you non-invasively measure a temperature...
