Claim:
1. A testing system comprising: a temperature calibration bath structure having an interior section adapted to contain and thermally control a thermally conductive fluid, wherein said calibration bath is adapted to accept or donate thermal energy; an outer containment structure formed to fit within said interior section and be disposed within said fluid, said outer containment structure is further formed having a plurality of outer containment structure sections comprising sides, a top and a bottom, wherein at least one section is selectively removable or operable to permit access to an interior section of said outer containment structure, wherein said outer containment structure is formed so as to prevent said liquid from passing into said interior section, said outer containment structure is formed from heat conductive material; a plurality of heat sinks having a first side and an opposing second side, wherein said first side is facing said outer containment structure, wherein each said heat sink is thermally coupled along thermal conductive paths along a plurality of lateral axis where one of each said plurality of lateral axis passes respectively through each of said heat sinks extending orthogonally away from a vertical axis through a center of said outer containment structure that is parallel to at least one side of said outer containment structure, wherein each of said plurality of heat sinks are thermally isolated from adjacent said heat sinks that are not along said respective plurality of lateral axis; a plurality of thermal sensor assemblies having a first and second side, each of said plurality of sensor assemblies are respectively thermally and removably coupled on said first side to the second side of said heat sinks, wherein each of said thermal sensor assemblies is physically separated from each other, wherein each of said sensor assemblies comprises a first and second heat sink wall section and a plurality of thermopiles, wherein said first and second heat sink wall sections are thermally separated by said thermopiles to form a thermoconductive path through each said thermopile; an inner containment structure operable to removably receive a sample for thermal testing, wherein said inner containment structure comprises a plurality of wall sections including lateral sides, a top side and a bottom side, as well as a plurality of thermal isolation barriers, one of said plurality of thermal isolation barriers are each disposed between areas of said wall sections that couple with each other so as to thermally isolate each said wall section from another adjacent wall section, wherein each of said wall sections are selectively and removably coupled together with thermally non-conductive fasteners such as non-conductive screws formed to screw through a face of a wall section, through said respective thermal barrier, and into an edge of an adjacent wall section in contact with the adjacent wall section, wherein said plurality of thermal sensor assemblies are respectively thermally and removably coupled to said wall sections of said inner containment structure, wherein said plurality of thermal sensor assemblies are formed so as their heat sink wall sections are substantially of the same length and width of respective surfaces of said inner containment wall sections they are facing.
