[en] We show how digital holographic interferometry in the Long Wave InfraRed (LWIR) spectral range can be used for the investigation of mechanical structures. The 10.6 μm radiation is produced by a CO2 Laser. Experimental results showing that the method can be used to locate defect in a panel are presented and advantages and disadvantages of this approach are discussed
