Abstract
A calibration assembly employs a thermoelectric cooler to provide a calibration temperature for one calibration flag and a different calibration temperature for a second calibration flag. Either calibration flag is immediately available for insertion into the optical path when calibration of the thermal imaging device is required. Consequently, the time required to calibrate a thermal imaging device within a thermal imaging system is greatly reduced.
