An easy to make thermal microscope that gives results comparable to those expensive devices from companies like FLIR.

Based around a mid-range USB thermal camera module. The resolution of this microscope is about 50 um. All of the lenses are available on AliExpress and the 3D files are available upon request (email address on the channel page).
