Description

Axion 2thermal imaging monoculars are designed for use both at night-
time and during the day and provide exceptional image quality even in 
adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like 
branches, tall grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection.

Unlike night-vision devices based on electron-optical converters, thermal 
imaging devices do not need an external light source and are resistant to 
bright light.

Axion 2thermal imagers are designed for various applications including 
hunting, observation, security, terrain orientation, search and rescue 
operations, etc.
