Night vision technology has made its way from the defense forces into the mainstream during the last few years. It has numerous applications in a variety of outside activities The technology has moved on over the years to be ready to deal with lower ambient light levels.

Night binoculars operate by sending the incoming particles of light, or photons, onto a photoelectric gadget. This releases electrons which are passed through a photomultiplier before striking a phosphor screen which becomes illuminated. This provides an image, visible to the human eye but of poor quality.

Second generation devices make use of a micro channel plate to generate much stronger electron streams for better image results. They do come in at a higher price point. Better quality phosphor lenses are utilized for military purposes but are beyond the scope of the domestic market. These devices depend on utilizing the light that is available.

Passive Starlight binoculars use substantial objective lenses to capture as much of the available visible light as possible. This is then focused onto a small area to produce a viewable image. When I talk about visible light, I refer to light in the part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to process. Obviously, all light is itself invisible.

Active Starlight binoculars use integral electronics to enhance the available light to create a clearer image. The disadvantage is that they require a power source rather than just optics. If you are heading into the wilderness, make sure you have batteries.

Active infra red equipment works in the same manner as a normal active device except that they employ light that the human eye is unable to process and create a recognizable image from it. This kind of light is emitted by most living things and these devices give you the chance to observe them when there is no normal light at all.

Image Intensifiers are at the top of the range and utilize every possible light source, from the visible spectrum and the infra red, to produce a good quality image. This kind of technology is normally only used by the military.

Your selection of a night binocular rests on what sort of ambient light you will be working in and how much you are willing to pay.
