<p>An infrared tympanic thermometer (1) for measuring the body temperature of a human by sensing the infrared radiation emitted by a human tympanic membrane. In the preferred embodiments, the thermopile (31) mounted in a can (2) or on a disk (14) is disposed within a cavity (9, 60) at the proximal end (4) of the ear probe (20), or the thermopile (31) mounted in a can (2) is mounted directly on the proximal end (4) of the ear probe (20). The thermopile (31) is formed adjacent to a temperature sensor (32, 36) which measures the ambient temperature within the can (2). In one embodiment, the thermopile (31) and the temperature sensor (32, 36) are integrated together in a semiconductor substrate. The proximal end (4) of the ear probe (20) is the end closer to the tympanic membrane when the thermometer (1) is used to measure the body temperature.</p> |
