The Thermal Visor is a visor in Metroid Prime, and it is the only Visor that is exclusive to Metroid Prime (although several aspects of the Thermal Visor carried over to the Dark and X-Ray Visors of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes and Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, respectively). It is acquired in the Research Core in the Phendrana Drifts. The Thermal Visor uses thermography, allowing Samus Aran to locate enemies or objects by their heat signatures.
