A capturing device for optically capturing an object to be checked includes a radiation source having a wall which encompasses a recording chamber. The radiation source is configured to emit at least infrared radiation when in a heated state. The wall has at least one insertion opening for inserting the object to be checked into the recording chamber and at least one image-recording opening for recording images of the object to be checked. The capturing device also includes an image-capturing apparatus configured to record images of the object to be checked through the at least one image-recording opening.
