Claims: I claim:

1. An apparatus for measuring surface temperature, comprising:

a temperature sensing means; and

an enclosure for placement adjacent to said surface, the temperature sensing means being disposed in the enclosure, said enclosure being transparent to thermal radiation but preventing convective air flow in the immediate environment of said sensing means, inside of the enclosure, when said sensing means in the enclosure has disposition adjacent to said surface.

2. An apparatus as in claim 1, said container being of cylindrical configuration, having two open ends, and providing an air column, the temperature sensitive element being mounted to one end of the cylinder, the cylinder communicating with the environment at the other end.

3. An apparatus as in claim 1, and including a wire mesh, the temperature sensitive element being mounted on said mesh, said mesh being mounted to an open end of the enclosure.
