By measuring this resistance, you can determine the temperature of the object that emitted the radiation and create a false-color image that encodes that data. Microbolometers are made up of materials which change resistance as they’re heated up by infrared radiation.

The sensor inside the FLiR Lepton is a microbolometer array.
