Does FLIR make thermal scopes?
Our affordable, low cost thermal rifle scope systems work in day and night with extreme accuracy & precision. Contact us today to discuss what FLIR thermal imaging IR scopes we have to suit your mission profile, pricing & availability.
Is it legal to own a thermal scope?
California law says that it is illegal to possess any device or similar, such as night vision or thermal imaging devices intended for use with or adapted for use with a firearm, allowing the owner to visually determine the presence of objects at night.
What is the life expectancy of a thermal scope?
Life expectancy of a Gen 2 device is about 5,000 hours of use. Generation 3 is currently the best night vision on the market. Gen 3 devices have the best resolution, cleanest and brightest images, best low-light performance, and best reliability/durability.
Who bought Armasight?

Can you see IR laser with thermal?
The ir laser will not be visible through a thermal scope. The exception being the FLIR thermal night vision scope. It laser is visible with any nods but recommend at least using a gen 2+ unit.
Is infrared the same as thermal?
The thermal radiation and the infrared radiation are the same thing if the sources of the radiation have temperatures comparable to the room temperature. For ordinary cold and lukewarm objects, the thermal radiation is mostly emitted in the infrared.
What’s the difference between night vision and FLIR?
Conventional low-light or image intensified cameras (green night vision scopes) rely on small amounts of light to produce an image. FLIR thermal cameras outperform low cost night vision systems for long range detection and search and rescue, because people and machines can’t hide their heat.
Why are thermal scopes so expensive?
The other main issue that makes thermal cameras more expensive than visible ones is the material cost for lenses. Glass is not transparent in the wavelength range used by thermal imaging sensors, so a different material is required for the lenses. Most thermal lenses are primarily made of germanium.
