Abstract:
A radiation thermometer, comprising:an infrared ray sensor for detecting an infrared ray which is incident upon a probe which is inserted into an opening of a living being;a control means including calculating means which calculates a measured temperature based on said infrared ray which is detected by said infrared ray sensor;an indicating means for indicating said measured temperature; anda measurement starting means for outputting, in response to a predetermined manipulation, an operation signal which causes said control means to operate,Wherein said infrared ray sensor starts detection when said measurement starting means is manipulated before inserting said probe into an opening of a living being so that a peak temperature of the opening of the living being is detected during insertion of said probe into the opening of the living being, characterized in that said control means comprises operation judging means for judging whether said measurement starting means is appropriately manipulated.
