Half-Moon

A half-moon provides a substan- tial amount of ambient light to be amplified by the internal Electronic Intensifier Tube. Without the assistance of the IR, you can recognize a man-sized object about 100 yards away.

The front of the Image Intensifier Tube contains a photocathode which converts light into electrons.

The device contains a very high voltage power supply, which converts the 3 volts supplied by the batteries into 17 kilovolts.

The high voltage hurls the electrons into the phosphorous screen. The phosphorous screen illuminates with an image when struck by electrons. The eyepiece optic then focuses the phos- phorous screen image to your eye.

Urban Environment

(with man-made light sources)

Streetlights and headlights will generally not damage the Electronic Intensifier Tube, if a safe distance away. As a precau- tion, do not point the device directly into a light source. At a distance of more than 30 yards, most common man-made light sources will generally not dam- age the device.
