ABSTRACT:
An infrared thermometer comprises a detecting portion provided with a waveguide (8) having a tubular conformation and capable of conveying the infrared radiation emitted from a detecting surface towards a sensor member (7) housed within the infrared-thermometer holding body; the waveguide has the conformation of a parabola the extension of which increasingly more converges in the direction of the sensor member (7).
