Abstract

An array of pyroelectric type heat detecting elements of different which are integrally incorporated with an optical system and which are arranged one dimensionally in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis of the optical system, and the optical system and the array of pyroelectric type heat detecting elements are rotated integrally with each other; thereby it is possible to obtain a two dimensional thermal image with a relatively simple structure.
