Surplus Metascope Infrared Viewer - US Navy Signal Device 

Me to, great channel.

Ditto.

Hey same here!

Yes, that’s where I saw it too!

omg its kerfur from votv

It would be interesting to see if you could find a phosphor that would work well and build your own metascope.

@@alphaindustries5775 There are sample cards you can buy with those phosphors on them.

Ohh, good idea. There's glow in the dark filament.

It's not going to work with any material, that is a tech similar to old tv screens, needs to be phosphorus and probably very thin layer.

you don't understood how the thing work thrust me I am an enginner 🤣

Chat GPT: Fixing a cracked white phosphor screen on a metascope can be a bit tricky, but it's definitely doable. Here's a step-by-step guide: Assess the Damage: Before you start any repair work, carefully examine the extent of the crack. If it's minor, you may be able to repair it without drastic measures. If it's severe and affecting the functionality of the device, you might need to replace the screen entirely. Disassemble the Metascope: To access the screen, you'll need to disassemble the metascope carefully. Follow any manufacturer instructions or guides you have for disassembly to avoid causing further damage. Remove the Screen: Once you have access to the screen, carefully remove it from the device. Be gentle to avoid causing any additional damage. Scrape Off the White Phosphor: If the crack is confined to the white phosphor layer, you can try carefully scraping off the cracked portion using a small, sharp tool like a razor blade or a precision knife. Be very gentle to avoid damaging the underlying layers. Clean the Screen: After scraping off the cracked phosphor, clean the screen thoroughly using a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Ensure that there are no residues left on the screen. Boiling Method (Optional): Some people suggest boiling the screen to remove the phosphor layer entirely. While this can work, it's a risky method as it can damage the underlying components if not done properly. If you choose to try this method, ensure that you use distilled water, avoid overheating, and monitor the process closely. Replace the Screen (if necessary): If the crack extends beyond the phosphor layer or if you're unable to repair it satisfactorily, you may need to replace the screen altogether. Contact the manufacturer or search for replacement parts online. Reassemble the Metascope: Once the screen is repaired or replaced, carefully reassemble the metascope following the disassembly steps in reverse order. Take your time to ensure everything fits back together correctly. Test the Device: After reassembly, test the metascope to ensure that the screen functions properly and that there are no issues with the repair. Seek Professional Help (if needed): If you're not comfortable performing the repair yourself or if the damage is extensive, consider seeking help from a professional technician who specializes in repairing electronic devices. I hope this helps

@@excitedatom1403 No, it doesn't help, at all, you should be asking ChatGPT how to become a millonaire instead of just relaying dumb answers on a social media video platform.

Yeah, there's modern ones you can get on a little business card. Materials science sure has come a long way!

90's is pretty new for most of my junk 😂

It won't be an infrared camera, it will be just a camera. The new mirrorless as the EOS R do have excellent night vision quality, imagine with a lens of that size, it probably sees night as day with a slightly slow shutter speed.

Usually I post on Wednesdays but I've had a few extra videos in the backlog!

Yeah they're right on it, too bad RU-vid can't figure out that underwear in a profile pic means a bot :-P

It likely involved nasty chemistry that Eastman Chemical no longer makes. They used to make a wide variety of exotic compounds for internal use too so it may have involved chemistry not available to the general public at large.

Dollar Tree sells several green phosphor glow in the dark toys. I'd investigate using some of that stuff for an indicator.

Those were probably Gen 1 nigh vision that actively amplified the light. This thing would be maybe Gen 0(?)
