The Omegon® Alpheon-NV 5x40
Congratulations on the purchase of the new Omegon® Alpheon-NV 5x40. This night vision device was
designed to work under low light conditions. It captures and intensifies light coming from objects. With
its built in IR-Illuminator one can increase the observing range. Special light conditions, such as
Moonlight allow even to increase its observing range to infinite. It features a 5x optical and 8x digital
zoom.
