Whether for orientation purposes on land or at sea, for viewing, observation and hunting or for protecting objects: the MINOX NV 300 permits silent and discrete observation even in advanced twilight and at night. For this purpose, light frequencies from the brightness of stars or horizon radiation, which are not visible to the naked eye, are amplified and objects pointed to are reproduced in a brilliant, clear and pin-sharp image through the excellent, multi-coated lens systems in combination with an incorporated infrared illuminator.The optical system of the MINOX NV 300 which weights a mere 490 g /1lb, provides a 10,000 x light amplification and 2.5x magnification.

Front Lens Photocathode Tube Eyepiece Phosphorus Screen Infra-red Illuminator Switch Night visions are opto-electronical viewing devices. Equipped with photocathode tubes, they enhance the remaining light at night to enable the user to see where it is too dark for the human eye. Mode of operation : 1) The remaining light is collected in the lens and will be focussed on the photocathode tube. 2) Inside the photocathode tube is a photo cathode which transforms the light energy (Photons) into electrical energy (Electrons). 3) In an electrostatic field inside the photocathode tube the Electrons are accelerated and hit 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 photocathode tube. 2.5 1.81 inch / 46 mm 3 groups in 5 elements Gen 1+ 25 lp/mm yes yes 1 CR 123A 3.27 x 6.85 x 2.17 inch 83 x 174 x 55 mm approx. 1.08 lb / 490 g 62401 MINOX GmbH Walter-Zapp-Str. 4 D - 35578 Wetzlar, Germany Tel.: +49 (0) 6441 / 917-0 Fax: +49 (0) 6441 / 917-612 e-mail: info@minox.com www.minox.com 03/04/LX/F Design subject to alterations without notice.
