Observations
An observation device, not a measuring one. The M15 Explorer is designed for nighttime observation and animal identification ('birdwatching' is explicitly listed among its palettes), not for measurement thermography. It offers no temperature range, no emissivity setting, and no reflected-temperature correction: most of the measurement fields on this page are therefore not applicable by design, not due to a lack of manufacturer documentation.
A very narrow 18.1° × 13.6° field of view, typical of long-range use (up to a claimed 970 m) rather than surface scanning.
A 50 Hz frame rate, consistent with tracking a moving target.
Included in this comparator for reference only. Its scores should not be compared to those of the catalog's measuring devices; see the methodology for the distinction between a measuring instrument and an observation device.
