I think you couldn't use thremographics with optical magnification if the
mag's lenses are glass. You'd have to find a material that is transparent to
both IR and visible light and your thermo would work with the optical mag.
I also think that that sort of material is standard in such cyberware. Or at
least in my game it is.
