1.2 Equipment Description:
The THE-14 is a self-contained night vision device that enables
improved night vision using ambient light from the night sky.
Typically, the moon, star and/or sky glow.
Optically, it is made up of an objective lens, image intensifier
and eyepiece lens. The objective lens collects light reflected
from the night scene by the moon, stars, or night sky, inverts
the image and focuses that image on the image intensifier. The
image intensifier converts the captured light into a visible image
and reinverts the image which can then be viewed through the
eyepiece lens.
In situations where there is no light at all the unit can be
switched into the infrared (IR) mode. The THE-14 is equipped
with an IR flashlight enabling the unit to use this invisible light
to operate.
The THE-14 is designed for differences in the physical features
of individuals. This allows for a wide range of operators to use
the system safely and comfortably. Some
of these design features are the power switch, eye relief
