Abstract
A temperature measurement system includes a temperature probe having a head and an infrared temperature sensor disposed in the head. The system also includes a replaceable probe cover removably attachable to the head. The probe cover includes a body, a substantially cylindrical waveguide extending from the body, and a distal tip. The waveguide is configured to direct radiation entering the distal tip to the temperature sensor when the probe cover is attached to the head.
