Nice ideas, I get both of them, the idea of using a laser as an illumination device was scary until i saw you understand to unfocus the beam, makes me which they had a variable focus laser pointer out there premade, it could easily double as your flash light, and if using UV you could inspect for a lot of things, and with IR you're right, it would be bright as day, didn't know nightvision was sensitive to IR I thought it was UV, but we're talking CCD sensors not mammalian eyes.

PRETTY COOL... YOU SHOULD MARKET THIS STUFF AND SELL IT TO OTHER RESEARCHERS LIKE ME TO USE IN THE FIELD?!!!!

@3006USMC I was actually told to do that. But like I said, Building it and fitting it into a nice little housing gets a little rough.
I'm going to have to do it, and figure out a wiring system.
Believe it or not, the sensor can be wireless using a system called XBee, you can see it on youtube in action. Now that! Would be super kick ass!
