thermal images
Would it work to use an aluminized front-surface parabolic mirror, like a reflecting telescope mirror, to focus the heat from a remote object to one of the Parallax Melexis temperature sensors?
I'd like to be able to make images of things like a running circuit board, such as a PC motherboard, to show which components are hot, and to make images of doors, windows, and walls in my house in wintertime to show where the most heat is being lost.
Has anyone ever tried this?

thinking of using) that says all of their reflective mirrors will reflect very well from near UV wavelengths all the way to well past ten microns in the IR.
So it seems possible enough that I guess I'll order a sensor and try it out.

· @Phil Pilgrim, I read the thread about your creation a few days ago. What you did was major.
