For this, a robust thermal probe and a high intensity source is needed.
2.
Recently, the first images using a QCL and a thermal probe have been obtained by Reading " et al ."
3.
Consequently, it may soon be the case that thermal probe techniques will become as widely used as those based on thermal expansion.
4.
Truly robust thermal probes have recently become available, as have affordable compact QCL s that are tuneable over a broad frequency range.
5.
Thermal probe techniques have still not achieved the nanoscale spatial resolution that thermal expansion methods have attained though this is theoretically possible.
6.
Cubic zirconia can be coated with diamond-like carbon to improve its durability, but will still be detected as CZ by a thermal probe.
7.
Reading and his group demonstrated how, because thermal probes can be heated, localized thermal analysis of softened material that adhere to the tip.
8.
Diamond's thermal conductivity is made use of by jewelers and gemologists who may employ an electronic thermal probe to separate diamonds from their imitations.
9.
Diamond's high thermal conductivity is used by jewelers and gemologists who may employ an electronic " thermal probe " to distinguish diamonds from their imitations.
10.
But they put on the brakes when they realized that because moissanites conduct heat like diamonds, they can fool thermal probes used to tell the difference between real and fake diamonds.
