1. An infrared imaging device comprising:

  • a display device, and, a camera, said camera comprising;

    an aperture arranged to allow radiation to enter said camera;

    a first sensor having a first output, said first output representing an image of said radiation passing through said aperture filtered into a first spectral range;

    a second sensor having a second output, said second output representing an image of said radiation passing through said aperture filtered into a second spectral range; and

    , a beam splitter arranged to receive radiation passed through said aperture, said beam splitter having a first waveband filter arranged to pass radiation in at least a portion of said first spectral range to said first sensor, and a second waveband filter arranged to pass radiation in at least a portion of said second spectral range to said second sensor;

    wherein said camera and said display device are aligned along a common optical axis such that parallax between said first and second sensors, and parallax between said camera and said display device are eliminated, said display device in communication with said camera and arranged such that said first output, said second output, and a combination of both said first and second outputs may be viewed selectively or jointly.
