Why Night Vision is Better Than Thermal Imaging?
Why Night Vision is Better Than Thermal Imaging?
When it comes to seeing in the dark, both night vision and thermal imaging have their advantages—but in many real-world situations, night vision provides a clearer, more natural viewing experience.

Night Vision Categories: Choosing the Right Device
Night vision technology comes in several form factors, each designed for different applications — from tactical operations to hunting and wildlife observation. The most common categories include night vision monoculars (NVM), night vision goggles (NVG), binoculars, clip-on systems and night vision rifle scopes. Here’s how they compare.

How does Night Vision work
Night vision technology allows us to see in near-total darkness by amplifying the faintest traces of available light. Whether it’s starlight, moonlight or other residual light night vision devices (NVDs) transform invisible details into a clear, usable image.

Understanding Image Intensifier Tubes (IITs): A Comparison of 37mm ANVIS vs 43mm non-inverted PVS-7 Style tube and 43 mm G2G Tubes
Image intensifier tubes (IITs) are the heart of night vision technology, amplifying available light to produce a visible image in low-light environments. While all IITs serve the same fundamental function, their form factor and configuration can significantly impact performance, compatibility, and use-case. Let’s compare three commonly encountered designs: 37mm inverted ANVIS tubes, 43mm non-inverted PVS-7 style tubes, and 43mm "glass-in glass-out" (G2G) tubes.

Green vs. White Phosphor Night Vision: What's the Difference?
When it comes to night vision devices, one of the most noticeable differences is the colour of the image—typically green or white. This isn't just about aesthetics; it affects how users perceive and respond to their environment in low-light conditions. The color depends on the phosphor screen inside the image intensifier tube: green phosphor (traditional) vs. white phosphor (modern).

Understanding Black Spots in Night Vision Devices
Black spots are a common and often misunderstood issue seen when using night vision devices. These spots appear as fixed dark dots or blemishes in the field of view and are typically more noticeable when looking at a bright or uniform background, like a wall or the sky.

Understanding Night Vision Parameters
Let’s talk about specifications of Gen 2 Image Intensifier tubes that will help you better understand Night Vision technology.
The heart of every night vision device is its Image IntensifierTube (often referred to as IIT). It might be very confusing for a beginner to understand and decipher different tube parameters.
