title: Chemical contrast observed in thermal images of blood-stained fabrics exposed to steam.
abstract: Thermal imaging is not ordinarily a good way to visualize chemical contrast. In recent work, however, we observed strong and reproducible images with chemical contrasts on blood-stained fabrics, especially on more hydrophobic fabrics like acrylic and polyester.
