Over the past two weeks @manawyrm and I have been hacking on InfiRay C200 thermal imaging cameras:

To our delight they have turned out to be super hackable!
One sore spot for us was that the minimum focus distance of the camera is rather large. So I designed a small magnetic lens attachment that gets it down from ~20cm to less than 5cm:

The difference in focus at 5cm distance is quite striking (first image without lens, second with)
@Toble_Miner @manawyrm amy way to get the sensors of these?
