The infrapink ultrascan specs are, along with the magnifying glass, the research counterpart to the gas gun's action purpose. Darkwing Duck doesn't use either former nearly as often as the latter and barely uses the infrapink ultrascan specs at all.
History[]
It is never explained where the infrapink ultrascan specs come from, but because they share a design with several other of Darkwing's gadgets, the whole likely comes from the same source. Among them is the gas gun, which is one of SHUSH's inventions created for Darkwing. As such, the infrapink ultrascan specs were presumably also made by the organization. They replace the ultraviolet binoculars Darkwing lost in the Salad Sea.
The infrapink ultrascan specs can extend to improve the resolution over a larger distance. The binoculars also are partially a radar to assist detection of crucial details. What is infrapink about them, or what infrapink even is, is not touched upon.
