Thermal Visor: Difference between revisions

The Thermal Visor was created as part of an Imaging research project being conducted by Space Pirates.<ref>{{cite|Imaging research is being conducted in the containment Vault area of [[Research Lab Aether|this facility]].|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> Their experimentation with [[Phazon]] revealed that Phazon Ore was bound together by Phazon Energy, and that the highest concentrations of radioactivity could be detected using Thermal Imaging.<ref>{{cite|Phazon ore appears to bind through Phazon energy. Thermal Imaging is required to detect the highest concentration of radioactivity, which serves to bind the stones together.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref> It was also determined that weaknesses in the casing of Phazon ore could be detected via Thermal Imaging, which could potentially undermine many of their Phazon experiments, such as [[Thardus|Project Titan]].<ref>{{cite|Phazon ore is extremely durable and blast-resistant. Although the armor-like qualities of this shell provide ample protection, Thermal Imaging can be used to detect weak areas in the casing. Improvements must be made to this shell in the event that these weaknesses are found by aggressors.|Scan Data|Metroid Prime}}</ref>
