Explain the characteristics of the night vision device in detail
Night vision technology includes two main types: amplifying light (or enhancing weak light) and infrared detection (or heat detection). Most consumer night vision devices are products that amplify the light. All ATN night vision technology products use magnified light. The process uses small amounts of light, such as the dim light in the surrounding environment (such as moonlight or starlight), to convert light energy (called photons by scientists) into electrical energy (that is, electrons). These electrons pass through a thin disc, about 1/4 inch in size, containing more than 10 million pathways. When an electron travels through a channel, thousands of electrons are knocked off the channel walls. These multiplied electrons are then upconverted back to photons and allow you to see a bright nighttime image even though it is dark. There are three important properties to judge its performance. They are: Sensitivity, Signal Conversion and Clarity. As a customer, you need to know these three characteristics in order to determine the performance level of the night vision system. Its sensitivity, or image responsiveness, is the ability to detect light. It is usually measured in "uA/lm", (microampere/lumen). ATN's advanced technology and workmanship enable us to provide customers with excellent sensitivity products. That's why many of our products do not come with standard IR illuminators. In many applications, lighting is not necessary. Our competitors put their products under infrared illuminators to obtain acceptable performance in low light conditions. Signal conversion plays an important role in night vision system performance. ATN's channel board technology provides a powerful conversion capability for input and output signals. Just as stereo equipment gives you high quality sound, ATN night vision gives you a high quality video with no "noise output".
The third major factor to consider when deciding to buy a night vision goggle is the ability to see details in the images you see. ATN night vision devices have advanced optics and the latest technology. Some of our competitors apply magnifying optics to their products corresponding to high resolution. But accordingly, vision is sacrificed. ATN has optional high magnification if you want it. This system does not require amplification to function effectively. Our technology offers a unique approach to creating the highest contrast on a phosphor screen, resulting in the highest product available to consumers. Features of Night Vision Technology Using enhanced night vision is different than using white light binoculars or your own eyes. Here's what you need to know about night vision when you're using an image-enhanced night vision system. Textures, Light and Dark Objects appear darker in daylight, but may appear brighter in night vision devices if they have highly reflective surfaces. For example, a glossy black jacket may appear brighter than a harsh, light-colored coat. Distance Perception At night, the eyes' normal sense of distance is lost. Fog and rain night vision devices are sensitive to ambient light, as fog or heavy rain can reflect sunlight and cause more light to enter the night vision device, which can degrade performance. Honeycomb* This is the process in which it is manufactured to form a tiny hexagonal pattern. Blemishes*Night vision technology by its nature will also have some dark spots throughout the image area. The points remain the same and should not increase in size or number. See the example image below, with black spots.
