Night Vision Equipment-Scopes,Binoculars and Goggles
Description
Night Vision Devices (or Image Intensifiers as they are also known) are a military invention, designed to allow you to literally see in the dark.
Near the end of the second world war, both sides developed very crude active Infra-Red devices. These units were very bulky and not very effective, and had a major drawback - both sides could see the other if they turned off their IR source. It was not until the Vietnam war that passive Image Intensifying devices were developed and used in combat.
Modern Night Vision Monoculars, Bi-Oculars, Binoculars and Goggles are devices that amplify available ambient light levels in order to transform a very dark night time scene into a bright picture enabling the user to recognise features and objects that would otherwise remain masked by darkness.
