Through the recent decades, thermal imaging cameras and scopes have found their place in the hands of both civilian engineers, border guards, hunters, and… hunters from other planets. What are those devices, and how do they work? We will try to answer that in this post.

For the pretty obvious reason, recent events in the Eastern Europe cased a major increase of interest in military and surplus products.
