Hi All
Optical pyros are no toy and are expensive. They work by reading the surface
tempt ure of what you are looking at in the kiln. They have an element which
is heated in the view finder the calibrated control you turn until the
colour matches the surface of the target and then read off the tem off the
scale on the outside. Very accurate instruments.
