Once again I consult my surplus catalog (though this looks like new stuff
that they're selling...). There's too much to quote, but I'll give you a
brief run down:
  * for $20  you get the instruction manual for the $350 kit
  * for $159 you get a "long range IR source"
  * for $350 you get an IR binocular "kit"
  * for $450 you get another IR viewer (different model)
  * for $850 you get a "long range IR viewer"
I'll post/mail more info if you're interested.

Incidentally, as long as I'm on the subject of surplus stores again,
the catalog I have here advertises a laser power supply for $80.
Again, I'll post/mail more info upon request.

Adam
