That essentially answered my question. I'm in the "what can I do for less than $1000" stage and it sounds like < 1000nm is it.



If you want to work with 5000 nm - 10,000 nm in that price range, you can use an affordable thermal camera with a microbolometer sensor. Surplus silicon and germanium lenses can sometimes be found cheap on eBay, and there are always a lot of very low priced zinc selenide lenses for sale (intended for the CO2 laser cutter market).
