[Discuss] [History] [Revise]Ecto Goggles

Ghostbusters

The Ecto Goggles allow the wearer to see invisible ghosts and visually track PKE valences. Primarily worn by Ray, both Egon and Venkman are briefly seen wearing them during the montage.

The base consists of an olive drab AN/PVS-5a Night Vision Goggles frame with two different microscope adapter lenses. After the goggles were damaged during the NY shooting, warning labels were put on the lenses for aesthetic purposes.

The right lens was taken from a Mirax-Laborec Photo-Micrographic Camera.
This piece is extremely difficult to find due to the scarcity of the camera.
There are a couple variations of the microscopic adapter however, the correct one is shown below.
The left lens is unidentified





Ghostbusters novelization

In the American novelization of the film, by Richard Mueller, Ray refers to the goggles as his "trinocular visor". (Pg. 94)


Ghostbusters II
The Goggles appear primarily hanging off Ray's belt and worn on the face in the ghost jogger scene during the montage. They are painted olive drab and the lenses are unidentified. The front faceplate greeblies are from the same kit used for several pieces on the slime blower, TAMIYA 1/35th Kampfpanzer Leopard Medium Tank Kit. The pieces are #2 and #19
