Night Vision Optics

Image quality depends on lens design, glass grade, manufacturing tolerances and coating. In order to be in line with well-known premium optical producers we could not cut any corners. ATN lenses are made from the highest-grade optical glass. Our optical designs are calculated with the latest computer software available. We measure our optical tolerances to .0001". We then multi-coat our lenses with our own proprietary coatings that are specifically designed to allow for maximum light transmission.Regardless of how much a person will spend for a scope, $30.00 or $1500.00, the basic design is typically the same. The Cam tube is placed and moved within Outer tube. The Adjusting system is held by one or two 7-pound springs. This has been the standard in the industry for many years.ATN has established itself as the world leader of night vision riflescopes. We decided to transfer some of our creative night vision designs into our daytime scopes. Due to the lay-out of night vision riflescopes, reticles are 14 times smaller and 10 times more precise then daytime scopes. We used the same innovative "push and pull" mechanism with silicone padding that is in our night vision devices for the Professional series scopes. This created windage and elevation adjustments that are 10,000 % more reliable then other scopes with click adjustments of 1/8" MOA at 100 yards.

L-3 Thermal Eye X150 thermal Imaging Camera

 The L-3 Infrared Products is an industry leader in technologically-advanced and affordable Thermal Imaging Systems, announced today that it is extending it's product line with the launch of the L-3 Thermal-Eye X150. Offering the same ease of use and durability of its X150xp predecessor, the lightweight L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 has a longer operating life of six hours and can detect activity from more than 1,000 feet away in total darkness. The L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 Thermal System incorporates an upgraded amorphous silicon engine for improved image clarity and picture definition because it captures more heat sensitivity. This gives users a more sophisticated and detailed processed image with enhanced gradations of black and white for even greater sharpness and clarity.The L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 is a revolutionary Thermal Imaging Device designed for Public Safety Departments, Law Enforcement professionals and Military use. Setting the standard for durability and compactness in Thermal Imaging cameras, the L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 is an ideal addition to any department's arsenal and has been battle-tested in Operation Iraqi Freedom.The affordable L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 gives users the ability to see in a complete darkness whether on a routine patrol, locating a lost child or tracking a fugitive. Developed with Raytheon's advanced amorphous silicon microbolometer detector Imaging Camera L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 delivers the ultimate in true Infrared Technology as no lighting is required.The L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 Thermal Imaging Camera sets the standard for durability and compactness in Portable Infrared Cameras. Weighing in at only 13 ounces with its unique design, the L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 Imaging Camera operates simply with one-button on/off operation. Designed for the rigors of outdoor use, the L-3 Thermal-Eye X150 Imaging Camera features a rubberized slip-resistant casing and can withstand shock and vibration. This hand-held pocket-sized innovation also exceeds waterproof standards and conveniently operates on standard AA batteries.
