Thermal Imaging
Thermal Imaging scopes are by far the coolest optical devices. Not only do they offer the flexibility of daytime and night time use, but they also deliver in weather conditions when other optical devices simply fail. Fog is one such example. Like all other thermal imaging devices, thermal riflescopes read off thermal signatures of all objects and present the user with an image showing a gradient map of the heat signatures. Most modern thermal riflescopes feature several color palates as well as the all-time standard black and white.
