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
conditions, which allows you to see well with your
naked eyes!
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 – after all, you are using this device in
the dark environment, where normally your vision would
