Abstract
Apparatus for measuring and visually displaying skin temperature of a body, human or animal, at each of two bilateral locations along a linear path of travel. Two separate temperature probes provide analog temperature-responsive signals that are digitized to drive separate digital displays directly indicating the measured skin temperature at each bilateral location. A movement-responsive device provides signals corresponding to movement of the instrument along the longitudinal path, and those motion signals can be correlated with the sensed temperatures at bilaterally-spaced locations along that path.
