Night vision (infrared) kit includes new 6032 image tube and high voltage supply
The big clear end of the image tube will emit electrons where light lands on it (a focused image of your subject). Internal grids will accelerate the electrons to a phosphor screen at the other end. A high positive voltage at the phosphor end attracts the electrons. Part way along the electron path is another grid at about 10% of the phosphor end voltage for focusing the image. I reached in my box of stuff and found a high voltage power supply from an arcade game which could work for the 20kV end.
It uses 36VDC at 120mA but adjusting it will also adjust the HV. Seems like a great DIY electronics project. Of course ready-made portable monoculars are out there for several hundred dollars. This would be handy for a fixed image at night. Your lenses and an IR source would also be interesting.
