Night Vision Optics
These night vision optics are all from RIX: two Gen2+ white phosphor night vision binoculars, a Gen2+ white phosphor monocular, the Tourer T20 digital night vision scope, and a fusion binocular that blends thermal with image intensification. Pick binoculars for comfortable long watches, the monocular for a lighter carry, and the T20 if the optic belongs on the rifle.

Choosing night vision binoculars or a monocular
White phosphor tubes show the scene in black and white instead of the older green. Many users find that easier on the eyes over a long night. A binocular gives you both eyes on the image, which is more comfortable for watching a field. A monocular weighs less and leaves your other eye adapted to the dark. If you want detection and detail in one device, the RIX fusion binocular overlays a thermal image on the intensified view. For pure detection, compare it with our thermal monoculars and binoculars.
For a rifle setup, mount the T20 with scope rings and mounts matched to its tube, or compare it with 384 thermal scopes and 640 thermal scopes. A red or green light helps on the walk in.
Night vision rules vary by state and species. Check with your state wildlife agency before using any of these afield.
Night Vision FAQs
What is the difference between white phosphor and green night vision?
Both amplify available light. White phosphor shows a black-and-white image and green phosphor shows a green one. Preference is personal, though many users report less eye fatigue with white.
Is digital night vision the same as Gen2+?
No. Gen2+ uses an image intensifier tube. Digital night vision, like the RIX Tourer T20, uses a camera sensor and a screen, usually with an infrared illuminator for very dark nights.
