Thermography of the PAX® Era™ pod temperature-controlled system (TC).
(A) PAX® Era™ pod cut, filled with cannabis extract, and prepped for thermography. (B) Optical microscopy image of a top-down view of a cut and prepped PAX® Era™ pod filled with cannabis extract (not painted black for clarity). (C) IR thermography image of a PAX® Era™ pod coil. Four elliptical regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn using the ResearchIR software specifying the area of the video that temperature was measured.

510 cartridge thermography for the VV510 and SV510 systems.
(A) Side view cartridge cut down, filled and prepped for thermography. (B) X-ray Computed Tomography image of the cartridge’s side profile with three visible coil turns. (C) IR thermography image of the first coil turn that has been exposed from the ceramic. The green curved box is the ROI drawn to collect coil temperature measurements. (D) Top view optical microscopy image of a cut and prepared cartridge (post saturation and priming) from the top looking down into the atomizer.
