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. Unlike a daylight binocular, where you
see the image due to light traveling through the
glass and 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
