Abstract

A disposable cone channel insertion probe is adapted for use in combination with an infrared thermometer. The probe has a generally frusto-conical hollow body portion, an inner reflective surface, and a flange projecting radially outward from the rearward end of the probe. The infrared thermometer also includes a mechanism for retaining the probe and optics for further focusing and collimating the infrared light from the probe to an infrared sensor.
