1. An apparatus for testing the heat transfer coefficient of a sample in an environment comprising:

  • an element having temperature sensitive optical properties and being adapted to contact or to be implanted in the sample;

    radiation heat transfer means for directly supplying heat to the element;

    means for transmitting electromagnetic radiation to said element; and

    means for optically detecting said temperature sensitive optical properties of the element to test the heat transfer coefficient of the sample, whereby the difference between the temperature of the element and that of the environment is an indication of the heat transfer coefficient of the sample.
