Infrared Viewers
Now Available: Infrared Viewers — IRV3 & IRX3
Power Technology’s infrared viewers convert invisible IR into a bright, visible image for fast laser alignment, stray-reflection detection, and inspection. Choose IRX (400–1700 nm) for compact field work with swappable 18650 batteries, or IRV (350–1300/1700/2000 nm) for higher resolution (60 lp/mm), USB-C convenience, and up to ~60 h runtime.
IRV3 Series Infrared Viewer
The IRV3 Viewer is a high-sensitivity IR viewer family offered in three bands— 350–1300 nm, 350–1700 nm, and 350–2000 nm— delivering 60 lp/mm center resolution. It pairs C-mount optics (1× F1.4/25 mm, 2× F1.8/50 mm) with ~40° / 20° FOV, runs on an internal 3.7 V / 200 mAh Li-Po charged via USB-C, and achieves up to ~60 h runtime. Hand-held or post-mounted via ¼-20, it supports camera/microscope adapters for live viewing and documentation.
- Spectral Coverage: 350–1300 / 350–1700 / 350–2000 nm (model-dependent)
- Resolution (Center): 60 lp/mm
- Power Source: Internal Li-Po, USB-C charging, up to ~60 hours

| eIRV | Power Technology’s IRV3 infrared viewers convert near-IR to short-wave IR (350–2000 nm, model-dependent) into a bright green image for rapid laser alignment, stray-reflection detection, and inspection. Choose the spectral ceiling you need—IRV-1300 (350–1300 nm), IRV-1700 (350–1700 nm), or IRV-2000 (350–2000 nm)—and pair it with C-mount 1× (F1.4/25 mm, ~40° FOV) or 2× (F1.8/50 mm, ~20° FOV) optics. A high-grade image converter delivers 60 lp/mm center resolution and supports CW and pulsed sources (ps–µs) without synchronization. The unit runs from an internal 3.7 V / 200 mAh Li-Po with USB-C charging and up to ~60 h battery life; ¼-20 mounting enables stable, hands-free use and easy integration with benches, tripods, or posts. Typical minimum beam visibility thresholds at 1 m are ~20 µW/cm² @ 1060 nm and ~500 µW/cm² @ 1300 nm (observe on a diffuse/metal target for best results).

IRX3 Series Infrared Viewer
The IRX3 Viewer is a compact, hand-held infrared viewing device for the 400–1700 nm band. Interchangeable C-mount lenses (1× F1.3/8 mm, 2× F1.4/16 mm) deliver ~38° / 19° FOV, with 30 lp/mm center resolution for clear alignment and inspection work. Power is via two 18650 Li-ion cells for ~11 h continuous viewing, and a ¼-20 tripod thread enables stable, hands-free operation.
- Spectral Coverage: 400–1700 nm
- Resolution (Center): 30 lp/mm
- Power Source: 2× 18650 removable cells, external charger, ~11 hours

| eIRX | IRX3 is a compact, hand-held infrared viewer for 400–1700 nm alignment and inspection tasks, using a first-generation image converter to render a high-contrast visible image at the eyepiece. Interchangeable C-mount lenses—1× (F1.3/8 mm, ~38° FOV) and 2× (F1.4/16 mm, ~19° FOV)—provide 30 lp/mm center resolution with close-focus down to 0.1 m (1×) or 0.5 m (2×, ~0.15 m with macro). Power is via two field-replaceable 18650 Li-ion cells for ~11 h continuous operation, and a ¼-20 tripod thread supports hands-free setups. For beam-spot visualization at 1 m, typical thresholds are ~0.1 µW/cm² @ 1060 nm and ~500 µW/cm² @ 1300 nm (view on a diffuse card or metallic surface; “mid-air” viewing requires scatter). Standard kits include batteries/charger, case, and OD1/OD2 ND filters.
