A new low radiation pyrometer to measure the temperature of the human body is presented. The instrument is based on a low cost thermopile as detector and an optical system consisting of an elliptical concave mirror. It was specially designed to measure the temperature of a person´s forehead. The instrument has been characterized using a black body built for this purpose. The precision of the instrument is 0.19 °C.
