CHESTER, VIRGINIA- Carl Zeiss announces the new Victory NV 5.6x62 T* Night Vision Scope. This high-performance night vision scope features a 2+ generation image amplifier tube with 20,000x light amplification making it an ideal device for observation at night. This easy-to-use, extremely powerful night vision scope delivers exceptionally high image quality and also features a reticle that can be used for range estimation.
The Night Vision Scope performs well during moonless nights and, during a full moon, the increased brightness of the image increases the viewing range significantly. Whether you are hunting predators at night, scouting, working to spot poachers or simply observing nocturnal life, the state-of-the-art optoelectronics in the ZEISS Victory NV 5.6x62 T* Scope far surpass the nighttime performance of even the best traditional binoculars.
Additional Infrared Illumination
Even with the best night vision devices, it is impossible to see into the shadows of trees. In situations like this, or in absolute darkness, the Victory NV is still very useful since the integrated infrared LED illumination enables you to brighten the immediate area. If long-distance observations are to be made under these conditions, a 1" flashlight equipped with an infrared filter can be attached to the night vision device using an adapter.
LotuTec®
Visual impairments caused by raindrops, dust, streaks or fingerprints are a thing of the past thanks to LotuTec®. This innovative coating on the Victory NV Scope lenses works like a protective shield for the lens and raindrops literally roll right off the glass. At the same time, the LotuTec® coating is very durable and resistant to abrasion so the lens surface can be easily wiped clean of dust and fingerprints without damaging the optics. The light transmission of the lenses is not affected by the additional protective coating.
Range Estimation Reticle
A simple to use range-estimation reticle is provided in the Victory NV Scope. It is designed for metric units of measurement. Assuming you know the specific size of a target, you would simply bracket it between the lines in the reticle to determine the distance to the target. Reticle subtensions are shown below as well as an example of range estimation on a wild boar. Subtentions are provided at a value of meters @ 100 meters. Of course, the smaller the target appears in relation to the reticle, the further away it is.
