NIGHT VISION
Without getting too technical and confusing, let’s try to understand
how this device works and what it can and cannot do:
1. Your night vision device works on the principle of amplifying
(intensifying) available light. The process is called light
amplification. A special tube inside the device does the job – all
you have to do is to power the device on and the tube starts
amplifying whatever the light is available at the moment –
therefore it is important to understand that this device is not
suitable for daylight operation, since there is already enough
light available during daytime to see without any additional
help. Therefore, the first and most important rule of any
night vision device is – never use it during daylight, or in
any bright light condition, which allows you to see well
with your naked eye!
2. Your night vision device operates with batteries when used
with the night vision module. Unlike a daylight scope, where
you see the image due to light traveling through the glass and/
or the prisms, the night vision device works by projecting the
amplified image onto a screen. While the tube is the crucial
component of any night vision device, the optical parts of the
unit are also very important, as they gather the light into the
tube and bring the projected image to your eye. Since the
image is projected on the screen, just like any TV, it has certain
limited resolution…so please do not expect your night vision
device to provide the same crystal clear image, as you see
through your daylight binoculars – after all, you are using this
device in the dark environment, where normally your vision
would be very limited…oh, and another important point – all
night vision devices have green monochrome image – why
green? Because human eye can distinct most details of the
viewing image when presented in green color…other colors do
not show you everything…
3. Another very important notice – since your night vision device
amplifies available light hundreds or even thousands of times –
