A pyroscope is a tool used to measure high temperatures. It is also known as a pyrometer or an infrared thermometer. These synonyms are commonly used in various fields such as science, engineering, and industrial applications. A pyrometer is specifically used to measure the temperature of an object without touching it, and it works by detecting the amount of infrared radiation emitted. Meanwhile, an infrared thermometer measures the temperature of an object by detecting the thermal radiation emitted by the surface. Although these terms are often used interchangeably, they have distinct features and properties that make them unique. Whatever the name, these tools are essential in measuring high temperatures accurately and efficiently.
