The NV 5x50 Night Vision Monocular is remarkable for its high light- gathering capacity and stunning high power magnification that far surpasses the capabilities of standard night vision devices. Due to a the large optical diameter of the objective lens (50mm) and enhanced contrast transfer function, the images produced by the NV 5x50 are is bright and crisp with a resolution of around 45 lines/mm . The figure of the visual magnification – 5 power – is one of the most impressive among gen.1 night vision devices. The housing of the unit is made of highly durable plastic. Efficient internal arrangement of parts and components contribute to an optimal weight-dimensions ratio. The NV 5x50 is able to capture effectively the light flux of a wide wave range in conditions of natural night illumination. To conduct observation on a cloudy moonless night, the adjustable IR illuminator can be used. The wave length amounts to 850nm (remote area of the IR range, invisible to the human eye) – the observer is “invisible” even if the unit is used in the active mode. Along with fine ergonomics, the NV 5x50 can be easily transported and is perfect for use in harsh field conditions (hunting, fishing, and hiking) as well as for nature preservation purposes.
