In this video I explore the inner workings of a 20+ year old high precision thermal imaging camera which uses a single point bolometer that sweeps across a large 2D plane using two rotating X-Y steering mirrors.
When this device was new it was ridiculously expensive... I have seen prices suggesting upwards of $25000 or more... possibly up to $50,000. Meanwhile it was handed to me for free by a friend back in about 2015.
Although it was designed for compact flash with only a few megabytes of capacity, adapters allow it to work with modern SD cards with up to 2 gigabytes of storage.
It also has a IEEE-488 GPIB (general purpose interface bus) which allows it to be controlled by software running on a Windows PC.
