DESCRIPTION AND DATA
2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The Prometheus Consists of next primary parts: a body, a lens assembly and an eyepiece assembly.
The Prometheus C is a thermosensitive device. It senses the differences in heat emitted by objects in its
field of view, and converts the received temperature pattern into a viewable image that represents the
scene in contrasting black & white or color patterns, depending on the user’s selected image palette.

NOTE:
It is important that the Prometheus C sensor receive sufficient thermal contrast between the target
and background area, or between the different parts of a target. For example, the vast temperature
contrast between the snow and any heat target (such as an animal) makes it very easy to distinguish
the target.
The main optical-electronic components of the Prometheus C include: an objective Germanium thermal
lens, eyepiece, a thermal-imaging camera, a display, a control card, and a button control panel.
The Prometheus C is equipped with manual eyepiece and objective lens focusing.
