1. A viewing instrument for a toy, comprising:

  • an optical module having a first light pathway for conveying visible light reflected from an object to an eye of a user viewing the object;

    a thermal radiation detecting module having a thermal radiation detector adapted to detect thermal radiation emitted from the object being viewed to thereby generate one or more signals;

    an aiming module having at least one visible light-emitting member electrically connected with the thermal radiation detecting module for receiving the one or more generated signals;

    wherein the at least one visible light-emitting member of the aiming module is adapted to emit light of at least a first color in response to a first generated signal of the one or more generated signals, and to emit light of at least a second color in response to a second generated signal of the one or more generated signals, the emitted light of at least the first or the second color is arranged to pass through a mark-carrying filter provided in front of the at least one visible light-emitting member, such that a visible mark having a shape corresponds to the mark carried by the filter and comprising the respective color is projected along the first light pathway to the eye of the user to indicate information based on the detected thermal radiation of the object being viewed.
