How do you find yourself a lath? Try once if it doesn't hit then move up/down a 3/4 inch.

You can see it on a thermal camera with a high resolution sensor from China (not the ITAR limited US tech).
Got a link? This sounds handy.
Thermal Master P3: 25fps, 256x192, manual focus
Looks like it's improved even further - I'm seeing that model listed with 512x384 resolution, and it's $300 on Amazon.

Pretty incredible! I felt like I was getting an amazing deal when I paid about $1000 15 years ago for a FLIR E4 that I could flash into an E8. I might finally retire that in favour of one of these.

That's the software upscaled size, not the real resolution. Typical distortions of East Asian marketing.
I would be amused if the actual reason for upscaling is that a 256x192 display is hard to source and that the firmware is partially shared between models with a display and models without one.
Pretty much but the wall is mostly lathe so you usually hit first go.
