Figure 2-5. Bright Spots and Emission Points.
(2)
Emission Points. A steady or fluctuating pinpoint of
bright light in the image area that does not go away when all light
is blocked from the objective lens (Figure 2-5). The position of an
emission point within the image area does not move. Not all
emission points make the NVG rejectable. Make sure any
emission point is not simply a point light source in the scene you
are viewing. Emission points are acceptable if they do not
interfere with the operator's ability to view the image or to
perform the mission.
(3)
Black Spots. These are cosmetic blemishes in the
image intensifier or dirt or debris between the lenses. Black spots
are acceptable as long as they do not interfere with viewing the
image. No action is required if this condition is present unless
the spots interfere with the operator's ability to view the image
or to perform the mission.
