The fullest information on the most popular day time and night vision optics, optics news, optics technologies for hunters, travellers and other night vision and day time needs.
The product of a military development and scientific breakthrough, night vision optical devices find more and more admirers. The areas of the usage of such equipment are expanding too. Night vision gadgets have become a “must” in almost all activities at night – hunting, fishing, boating, camping, etc. Whether used for fun or for practical purposes, night vision tools give a clear picture of your whereabouts under difficult light conditions. Today depending on what type of light intensifier what tube is used, all devices are categorized into 1st, 2nd, or 3rd generation units.
1st generation is the most popular type of night vision in the world. 1st generation will amplify the existing light several thousand times letting you clearly see in the dark. These units provide a bright and sharp image at a low cost, which is perfect, whether you are boating, observing wildlife, or providing security for your home. The downside is that the image may be slightly blurry around the edges. 2nd generation is primarily used by law enforcement or for professional applications. The main difference between a 1st and a 2nd generation unit is the addition of a micro-channel plate. It works as an additional electron amplifier. This extra process allows 2nd generation units to amplify the light many more times then 1st generation giving you a brighter and sharper image.
3rd generation is the latest in night vision technology. By adding a sensitive chemical to the photocathode a brighter and sharper image was achieved. However, it is vastly more expensive then 1st or 2nd generation.
American Technologies Network Corporation has been supplying Night Vision and Optical products to the Commercial, Law Enforcement, and Military markets.
