Today’s hunters have a wide array of choices in both light-intensified optics and thermal optics to help them see their prey when the lights go out. Which technology works better, though, is more of a debate than you may realize.

Alternative optics such as thermal and night-vision optics, while great tools to extend precious predator hunting hours, don’t operate like your average scope or binocular. Here are a few things to take note of before embarking on your next nighttime hunt.

While we'll probably never be able to see in the dark without the aid of expensive electronics, there are a few ways we can optimize natural night vision for low-light scenarios.

Combining 640x480 microbolometer strength with 12-micron pixel detail, the new Thermion XG50 delivers 2,400-yard thermal detection range in stunning clarity on a 1024x768 AMOLED display.

Designed with hunters in mind, the X-Vision Deluxe Digital Hands-Free Night Vision Binocular boasts durable construction and a rubber exterior, for extended use in the field.

EOTech, a Michigan-based manufacturer of holographic and magnified optics, has acquired Intevac Photonics, a California-based technology leader in cutting edge high-sensitivity night vision sensors, cameras and systems.
