6.3  Neutral Density Filter

Some 

Cyclops 

instruments, designated suffix 

-2F

, are fitted with an additional, 

internal, neutral density filter within the visual sighting system. This will not 

affect the brightness or clarity of the internal (viewfinder) temperature display, 

but does provide some additional eye comfort when viewing high temperature 

targets.

6.4  Lens protection window

The 

Cyclops 

is supplied, as standard, with a protective window which covers 

and protects the instrument lens.

WARNING

Never look at the sun through this instrument -  this could cause 

severe damage to the eye.

6.2  Target Size Calculation for fixed focus instrument Cyclops 055L

The 

Cyclops 055L

 has a precision reflex optical system, which provides 

‘Through The Lens’ sighting and gives precise definition of the target spot. The 

focus is fixed at 5 metres.

Field of View

The precision reflex optical system gives a narrow field of view from the front of 

the instrument to 5000 mm (Fig. 6-2).

Target distance (D) from optical datum

Optical
