The most common question in regards to night vision equipment selection is “Which night vision device is right for me?” All night vision products amplify existing light, allowing you to see in dark conditions too dark for the naked eye. Night vision goggles, monoculars and binoculars collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is animated by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. Said electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen, which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image. The key difference between the varied products is the intensifier technology.
There are many devices that are high quality and provide light amplification adequate for most recreational activities camping, hiking, fishing, boating, and nature viewing, and for many professional uses such as surveillance, search and rescue, and property management, you just have to find the one that’s right for you.
