Night Vision Systems

The Owl® and Prowler® night vision systems from B.E. Meyers & Co., Redmond, WA, can couple to 35-mm, CCD, and digital cameras along with C-Mount and 35-mm objective lenses, telescopes, microscopes, and camcorders in addition to rifles and spotting scopes. They include a built-in 200' mid-range wide-angle infrared illuminator and the original Image Guard bright light-tube protection system that automatically protects the image tube by switching off power if the unit is turned on in daylight.

These units can operate from a 1.5V AA battery or a single CR123 3V lithium battery, and weigh 18 ounces. Each unit features a 1.5" diameter wide-angle, adjustable rotary eyepiece. The Owl and the Prowler are also equipped with a multi-coated 50-mm F/1.3 C-mount objective lens with focus and an adjustable iris. The units are shipped complete with batteries and a waterproof, foam-lined carrying case.

Optional infrared spot illuminators provide, on demand, an invisible field of illumination, allowing viewing deep into dark areas and long-range image-enhancing illumination when the units are used with high-magnification telescopes. A push/pull zoom laser system allows the size of the illumination beam to be varied from wide field to narrow to match the field of view, or any objective lens optics from 50 mm to 2000 mm focal length.
