The device is a substitution of expensive device for this kind of measurement is thermal camera which can be expensive for some application or should have the limitation of non-possibility to read temperature behind a barrier (wall, bandage). </span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p class="Abstract" style="margin: 1pt 0in 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The main goal of this work was to design a device for measurement of thermal distribution on 2D surface for low-cost measuring processes with slow change of temperature and for processes, which do not require high resolution of collected data. The next advantage of presented device is a possibility of temperature measurement behind the barrier.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>
