Physics noob here. I have the cheapest FLIR sensor (80x60 px sensor). It captures Longwave infrared, 8 μm to 14 μm. It has a tiny lens (probably 1mm in diameter). Trying to add a zoom ability to this sensor.
I have different DSLR lens and other optical scopes. I tried holding the tiny FLIR camera behind the zoom lens hoping to see the heat of object behind the zoom lens, but it just shows the heat of lens itself. Tried different positions, etc, but didn't work.
What am i doing wrong? Are the consumer lenses absorbing infrared wavelengths?
