Argus night vision goggles/scope has the best sensitivity in its class for the infrared spectrum (night sensitivity), including a wavelength range of 900–950 nm. The device is highly effective when paired with invisible IR illuminators. This makes the night vision goggles/scope a perfect tool for detecting targets such as wild boar, deer, and elk at a range of distances. Night Vision Goggles and Scopes work by utilizing advanced technology to enhance visibility in low-light or no-light conditions. The basic process involves:
1. Light Gathering: Night vision devices collect existing ambient light, such as moonlight or starlight.
2. Photocathode Conversion: Collected light passes through a photocathode, converting photons into electrons.
3. Electron Amplification: Electrons are accelerated across a voltage gradient, causing them to multiply significantly.
4. Phosphor Screen Conversion: The multiplied electrons strike a phosphor screen, causing it to emit visible light.
5. Image Magnification: The visible image is then optically magnified, providing a clearer and more detailed view.
