emissivity table

*Excerpt from FLIR Systems' Manual. Please note that the actual results may vary depending on the surface condition of the material and the measurement conditions.
*The emissivity values in the table below were recorded using a long wavelength (LW: 8-14 μm) camera.
*Please refer here for emissivity of 0.65µm, 0.9µm (silicon element area), and 1.55µm (InGaAs element area).
