The T-7 Thermal Goggle/Binocular is a rugged, lightweight and powerful Infrared optic that can be hand-held, helmet mounted, or mounted on a head harness. By using the 2X internal digital zoom and adding an optional afocal germanium optical lens, the T-7 provides potent 6X long range thermal surveillance and acquisition.

The sensitive uncooled thermal detector and high resolution display provides crisp "white hot" or "black hot" images regardless of ambient conditions. A colorized capability is available at user request. While night vision technology relies on amplification of ambient light or assisting illumination, thermal devices are completely passive, sensing extremely minute temperature differentials. The T-7 Thermal Goggles therefore acquire targets in daylight and complete darkness while "seeing through" obscurants such as smoke and haze which often hinder image intensification devices.

Designed for law enforcement, military and commercial use, the T-7 is idea for reconnaissance and surveillance, perimeter security, wildlife observation and control, locating oil spills, and geo-thermal event monitoring in addition to a wide variety of other applications.

The T-7 combines a highly sensitive, unclooled, thermal detector with the new 640 X 480 LED display integrated into the familiar AN/PVS-7D housing, ensuring accurate images and compatibility with accessories such as the Mil Spec Head Harness and Helmet Mounts. The comfortable, light weight T-7 provides a powerful advantage during both day and night operations.

Infrared energy, often referred to as "infrared" or "IR", is electromagnetic radiation that travels in a straight line through space, the same as visible light. Although infrared shares some of the properties of visible light, its different wavelength has several unique characteristics. For instance, materials that are opaque to visible light may be transparent to infrared, and vice versa. An example of this difference is the ability of light intensification devices to see through glass and plastic while thermal detection devices cannot. Unlike visible light, given off by ordinary objects only at very high temperatures (e.g. light bulbs), long wavelength infrared (7-14 mm) is emitted by all objects at ordinary temperatures. This means infrared is all around us all the time, even in the dark. Different objects give off varying amounts of infrared, depending on the temperature of the object. The T-7 is designed to sense differing amounts of long-wavelength infrared and display the scene in real time for the user.
