1. A method of obtaining a thermal image of a target, comprising:

  • directing an electromagnetic radiation from a microwave source directly onto the target to produce an infrared response in and infrared radiation emission directly from the target;

    receiving the infrared radiation emission in an infrared imager; and

    generating a series of thermal images of the target wherein a measured initial temperature variation within the target area is removed by an averaging process in the thermal imaging data.
