Infrared thermometers usually use a lens to focus infrared light from one object onto a detector called a thermopile. The thermopile absorbs the infrared radiation and turns it into heat. ... The electricity is sent to a detector, which uses it to determine the temperature of whatever the thermometer is pointed at.
