Understanding Thermal Imaging and Night Vision with Armasight

Discovering How Armasight's Thermal Imaging Technology Works

Armasight revolutionizes observation with its cutting-edge thermal imaging technology, transforming infrared heat emitted by objects into a visually striking spectrum of colors. This process, executed through advanced onboard processors, allows users to effortlessly distinguish between different objects, animals, and heat signatures by assigning them unique color or greyscale shades. The clarity of an image in Armasight's thermal imaging devices is determined by two critical factors: resolution and refresh rate (Hertz).

- Resolution: This aspect measures the number of pixels in each area of the display, with Armasight's high-resolution thermal imaging providing unparalleled clarity and detail, akin to the best in modern electronics.

- Hertz (Hz): The refresh rate, indicating how fast an image updates per second, ensures smooth and clear imagery as users scan through environments.

Armasight thermal imagers excel in field applications, offering unmatched capabilities for tracking heat signatures in wildlife, law enforcement, and security operations. With features like onboard recording, GPS, and WiFi connectivity, these devices—available as monoculars, goggles, or weapon-mounted systems — ensure that no heat source goes unnoticed, whether it's tracking animals or monitoring human activities.

Exploring Night Vision Innovations by Armasight

Armasight's night vision technology enhances low-light environments, turning night into day for the user. By amplifying ambient light and near-infrared light to levels visible to the human eye, these devices ensure visibility in complete darkness. Armasight categorizes its night vision solutions based on generations of technological advancements, from Gen1 to Digital Night Vision, each offering progressively better performance, clarity, and range.

- Generational Advancements: Starting with Gen1, developed during the Vietnam War era, to the latest in Digital Night Vision, Armasight night vision devices utilize advanced image intensifier tubes and technologies like micro-channel plates and Gallium Arsenide photocathodes for superior light amplification, which are found in Gen 3 devices.

- Digital Night Vision: Embracing the latest advancements, Armasight's currently doesn’t offer Digital Night Vision which employs CCD sensors and LCD displays. This technology has not advanced sufficiently enough to allow operational capabilities without the aid of additional infra-red light sources. Armasight focuses on the professional operational needs for LE and Mil scenarios.
