Night Vision

Night Scopes' Improvement

Night vision takes the small amount of light that's in the surrounding area (such as moonlight or starlight), and converts the light energy (scientists call it photons), into electrical energy (electrons). These electrons pass through a thin disk (a microchannel plate) that's about the size of a quarter and contains over 6 million channels.

As the electrons go through the channels, the electrons are multiplied thousands of times. These multiplied electrons then are accelerated onto a phosphor screen which converts the electrons back into photons and lets you see a bright nighttime view even under extremely dark conditions.

There are four major characteristics in evaluating a night vision purchase: performance, human factors, suitability to its application, and the overall cost of ownership.
Most night vision equipment available today will provide an adequate image under higher night light conditions, such as when there is a full moon. The performance, especially under truly dark conditions such as starlight, is evaluated according to Photosensitivity and Resolution. Improved resolution is essential for the obvious advantages and because the new generation of such equipment shows the scene in false-colour and thus their resolution is reduced.

Vis-In interferes in the night vision scope and increases the resolution of any existing night vision equipment by four times, doubling it vertically and horizontally, by vibrating minutely and rapidly its image intensifier cylinder.
