How Do Night Vision Devices Work?

In layman’s terms:

  • An objective lens gathers ambient light photons.
  • Internal components convert them into electrons and multiply them.
  • A much larger number of electrons hit a phosphor screen, producing light flashes.
  • The screen uses an increased amount of light to display a brighter image.
  • The color of the phosphor screen determines the type of image you see.

What Are the Benefits of White Phosphor Image Intensifiers?

The human eye has receptors that process colors corresponding to shades of blue, green, and red. The image you see using green phosphor only engages some receptors, so you only receive “green” information.

White combines all colors. Image intensifiers that use white phosphor:

  • Give users increased depth perception
  • Create less eye strain
  • Provide better visual acuity
  • Allow for more contrast
  • Produce grayscale images that are easier for most users to process
  • Enhance object recognition
  • Show amazing detail

Most people report that the grayscale images using white phosphor image intensifiers appear more natural.
