Night-vision optical devices have always been quite popular, as they allow people to enjoy relatively good vision even during nighttime. And one of the most advanced devices of this type currently available on the market is the particular model you’re about to see as follows, namely the Night Cougar Generation 4 from ATN Corporation, which can be rated among the smallest and lightest Binocular Night Vision Goggles on the market.



These optical devices deliver 1:1 magnification, stereo depth perception, close focus, a good field of view, all-glass lenses and a powerful infrared illuminator for total darkness nocturnal viewing. This tube (4th Gen. Autogated/Filmless) is the most important component in the whole assembly, providing a detection range of up to 325 meters, as well as a recognition range of up to 275 meters.



As mentioned earlier, the device has been equipped with all-glass lenses (F1:1.4, F35mm), has a field of view of around 30 degrees, as well as a diopter adjustment of +/- 5. Additionally, the resolution is pretty good as well, namely 64-72 lp/mm, while the signal to noise ratio varies between 24 and 30.



It’s also important to mention that the night-vision device’s focus ranges between 1 meter and infinity, the controls are all-digital and the battery life lasts for 10 – 20 hours. Since it’s a Generation 4 device, the Cougar has a price tag to match, namely around 10,000 US dollars, a lot more than most consumers are willing to pay for such a product.
