1946 Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Va.) 16 Apr. 2/1 The snooperscope can be used over a special helmet. It weighs from six to seven pounds, and looks like something out of this world.

1946 Times-Dispatch (Richmond, Va.) 16 Apr. 2/1 The snooperscope had another use. With one on his noggin, a jeep or truck driver could go barrelling down the road to the front without lights.

1955 Sci. News Let. 7 May 295/3 A modified snooperscope is being used to ‘see’ through silicon crystals, spotting imperfections produced in manufacturing transistors, rectifiers and other semi-conducting devices.

1962 Appl. Physics Lett. 1 91/2 We looked at the diode output through a ‘snooperscope’ and above the threshold observed a very intense and narrow beam [of infrared radiation] radiating from the junction region.

1972 J. Mills Rep. to Commissioner 227 Hanson says why not darken the floor and watch the elevator with snooperscopes.
