SPARK
Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular
For years, development and improvement of consumer-orientated single stage Gen 1
technology has stood still – until now. Traditionally, Gen 1 tubes are made of glass – making
them quite fragile and easily damaged, and have relatively low resolution, with very evident
image edge distortion.
Introducing an Armasight exclusive – CORE (Ceramic Optical Ruggedized Engine) technology
image intensifier tubes! While CORE does not contain a micro channel plate (and so by
definition lands in the Gen 1 category) that is where the parallels end. Instead of glass, CORE
tubes use a specially formulated ceramic compound fused with metal alloys similar to those
used in production of Gen 2 and Gen 3 image intensifier tubes. Further advances in CORE
have almost removed edge distortion, dramatically increased photo-sensitivity and most
importantly, almost doubled resolution up to 70 lp/mm!
The Armasight Spark is the perfect partner for this new hybrid tube-type – a rugged, but light-
weight multi-purpose night vision monocular. With optional accessories, it can be used hand-
held or head-mounted; with a day scope adapter, it can convert your existing day scope to
night vision at a budget price. With optional 3X afocal lens and IR illuminator, it can serve as
a medium range, ultra-high resolution spotting scope and with optional camcorder/camera
adapter, you can even take footage or stills though it in darkness.
The Armasight Spark is the ideal night vision unit for the outdoorsman or first responder who
demands more resolution, image clarity and durability than standard Gen 1 can offer.
