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.
