In plain language, both are forms of thermal imaging, but they use different kinds of infrared detectors and therefore behave differently in the field. <code>Uncooled</code> thermal cameras usually rely on microbolometer sensors that measure heat-induced changes inside the detector itself. <code>Cooled</code> thermal cameras use detector assemblies that are actively chilled to very low temperatures so they can measure very small infrared signals with higher sensitivity.</p>
