See clearly even after the sun sets with the ATN PS15-4 night
vision goggles. Recommended for professional or law
use, the compact, lightweight goggle system uses two
high-performance image intensifier tubes to display extremely
clear, crisp images under the darkest conditions. This dual-tube
design provides increased depth perception and outstanding
clarity, so you can easily spot intruders, scan an after-dark
work environment, or simply see the path ahead. The PS15-4 also
includes a built-in infrared illuminator that lets the user
easily read a and function in a total darkness environment.
Fully waterproof, the PS15-4 comes with comfortable flip-up
headgear and carries a limited two-year warranty.
The PS15-4's dual-tube design provides superior depth perception
and clarity. How Night Vision Works
All ATN night vision devices consist of several main parts: an
objective lens, an eyepiece, a power supply, and an image
intensifier tube (photocathode tube). The devices function by
gathering existing ambient light, such as starlight, moonlight,
or infrared light, through the front lens. This light, which is
made up of photons, goes into the photocathode tube and is
converted into electrons. Next, the device amplifies the
electrons to a much greater number through an electrical and
process, and then hurls them against a phosphorous
screen that changes them back into visible light. The image will
appear through the eyepiece as a clear, green-hued, amplified
re-creation of the scene you were observing.
All night vision devices need some light to amplify. That's why
all ATN night vision devices have a built-in infrared illuminator
(IRI). An IRI essentially throws out a beam of infrared light
that is near invisible to the naked eye, but your night vision
device can see it. This allows you to use your even in
total darkness. The IRI works like a flashlight, which is why the
distance you can see with it is limited. Although ATN IRIs extend
out to 100 yards, the IRI may cover only 40 to 60 percent of the
viewing area.
How Far Can You See?
There are many different variables that can affect the distance
you see with a night vision device. First, what are you trying to
see? Are you looking for another boat on the water or are you
looking for a rabbit in the woods? The larger the object, the
easier it is to see. Plus, are you trying to see details
(commonly called "re range"), or are you just trying to
see if something is there? Maybe you will see just the movement,
but won't be able to determine 100 percent who are what it is.
This is called "detection range." Another variable is lighting
conditions. The more ambient light you have, the better and
further you will be able to see. You can always see further on a
night where the moon and stars are out than if it's cloudy and
overcast. ATN typically states that you can tell the difference
between a male and female or a dog and a deer at about 75 to 100
yards. However, if you were looking across an open field and
there was a half moon out, you could see a barn or a house 500
yards away.
