Night Owl Optics Explorer 3.0x 1st Generation Night Vision Binocular

Amongst Night Owl Optics premier models, Explorer Binocular combines optical excellence and mechanical precision with compact dimensions.  The NOXB3 delivers portability and premium performance from an attractive body encased in a rubberized finish for robust, extra comfortable handling.  The Explorer has exclusive multielement glass optics, individually treated with premium coatings of different layers of metal oxides and fluorides to ensure minimum reflection on the glass surfaces and increased light transmission for a crisp, clear view.  The compact shell houses two high performance intensifier tubes cradled inside Night Owl's unique steel stringer system, which adds precision and control.

PLEASE NOTE:  There are many variables which influence the distance one sees with night vision devices-amongst them the object's size, the level of detail being sought and the observation conditions.  Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies.  Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and this varies by manufacturer, so ultimately the generation of the intensifier tube is much more relevant than any quoted statistic when determining the maximum viewing range.

All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device.  Bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.
