Night Vision Scopes are a great tool for professional and nonprofessional uses. Night Vision Scopes help to observe in darkness. Normally you use both eyes (Binocular vision) to pick up cues to help estimate the distance and depth of an object. However, with Night Vision Scopes you are essentially using one eye (Scope vision), which can pose real problems.

The most popular Night Vision Scope trade-marks are Baigish, Helios, Gnom, Dipol, NZT etc.

Night Vision Scopes are characterized by magnification, angular field of view, IR illuminator, diopter range, focus limit, lens's diameter, exit pupil distance, operating time etc.
