Abstract
A probe cover for use with an IR thermometer includes a cover comprising a conical sidewall and an infrared transmissive window at its tip. A bushing is inserted into the interior of the tip of the cover to produce an outward radial force against the adjacent sidewall. The bushing flattens the film membrane forming the window and thus enhances distortion free transmission of IR radiation.
