I wish my boards had traces that glow.

You can probably see traces glow in your FLIR camera.  I don't own an
IR camera (yet) so I use liquid crystal sheets.

We recently bought a few nice thermal imagers with clip-on close-up
lenses, about $700 total. I could post the details next week, if
anyone is interested.

I don't currently have a project that could justify the purchase of an
IR camera.  However, I am curious.  If it's convenient for you, I
would be interested in specs and a sample photos.

to match your expectations.  Sigh...
