Digital and Generational Night Vision

Night vision is the ability to see in low light environments through the use of a night vision device (NVD) that is equipped with an image intensification tube (IIT) or a camera sensor (digital NV). NVD’s can be a monocular, binocular or riflescope. NVD’s are used for a variety of applications such as hunting, security, wildlife observation, stargazing, and camping.

Instead of using an IIT, digital night vision uses a charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) and a micro display. Light that is projected onto the CCD or CMOS array from the objective lens is converted to an electronic signal. That means they're completely safe to use during daytime.

This signal is then processed and sent to the micro display to be viewed by the user. Digital night vision generally produces a black and white image, but displays can show images in any color.
