PRODUCT INFORMATION MINOX NV 400 ­ THE NEXT GENERATION Pocket Sized 2nd Generation Night Vision `Scope Combining modern technology with 70 years of optical and miniaturization knowledge enabled Minox Germany to design and produce popular Night Vision devices. Now, the introduction of the NV 400 into the range signifies further advances in this field as this latest ultra-compact addition features a 2nd Generation optical tube. Night Vision `scopes have many practical uses from casual after dark nature observation, hunters and gamekeepers keeping track of targets and livestock and security guards keeping a lookout for nocturnal intruders, to name but a few. Technical Data Integral IR LED Optical magnification 2x Focal length 1.5/40 mm Focusing range from 5 m to infinity Field of view 22° Resolution 40 lp/mm Tube type Gen 2+ Diopter compensation +/- 4dpt Battery 1x CR 123 A Dimensions 175 x 85 x 60 mm Weight 560 g Tele converter: Magnification 1,6 x Dimensions 53 x 47 mm Weight 165 g Complete with Tele converter, case and battery Order number 62403 Accessories: Video adapter (optional), fits and works with most video cameras that have 37 mm lens thread. Dimensions: 40 x 60 mm Order number: 62404 2nd Generation technology Night Vision `scopes produce brighter, clearer images than their predecessors and coupled with a 2x magnification, the MINOX NV 400 allows accurate observation in light conditions when even the human eye cannot perceive detail. The incorporated Infrared illuminator allows close-range observation to a distance of about 50 yards in near total darkness. The MINOX NV 400 comes complete with a 1.6x converter which, when placed over the front lens, gives the `scope a 3.2 x magnification with only negligible image degradation. A video adapter is an optional accessory and this will fit on nearly all cameras with a 37 mm filter thread allowing recording of the produced image for future viewing. The NV 400 can be mounted on a tripod using the incorporated 1/4 inch tripod screw thread, allowing for long periods of observation without the need to handhold the `scope. Front Lens Micro Channel Plate Image Intensifier Tube Phosphor Screen Eyepiece IR Switch Infra-red Illuminator Power Switch Night vision units are opto-electronical viewing devices. Equipped with image intesifier tubes, they enhance the remaining light at night to enable the user to see where it is too dark for the human eye. Functional principle: 1) The remaining light is collected in the lens and will be focussed on the image intesifier tube. If the remaining light is too faint, it can be amplified by an infrared brightener. 2) Inside the image intesifier tube is a high sensitive photo cathode which transforms the light energy (Photons) into electrical energy (Electrons). 3) A micro channel plate multiples the Electrons and hit them to the phosphorus screen at a high velocity. The collision frees light (Photons) on the other side. The light intensity is now much higher than it was before, it entered the image intesifier tube.
