    1.3. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION 1.3.1. MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS the mechanical functions of the nVMpS allow for differences in the physical features of individual operators and provide for operating the system. these functions include the power switch, eye relief adjustment, diopter adjustment, gain control, and objective focus. the mechanical controls are identified in Figure 1.5.

  • Page 24: Optical Functions

    1.3.2 OPTICAL FUNCTIONS the optical functions include an objective lens, image intensifier and eyepiece lens (Figure 1.6). the objective lens collects light re- flected from the night scene by the moon, stars, or night sky, inverts the image and focuses that image on the image intensifier. the im- age intensifier converts the captured light into a visible image and reinverts the image which can then be viewed through the eyepiece lens.

    NOTE For a pattern to be resolvable, three vertical bars and three horizontal bars must be visible. (8) Flip the HIGH/LOW switch to the HIGH position. (9) again, look through the monocular and view the projected pat- tern (see Figure 2.2.). If necessary, refocus the objective lens and then the eyepiece lens to obtain the sharpest image.
  • Page 41 There are two groups of “defects” you may encounter – operational defects and cosmetic blemishes. operational defects are an im- mediate cause to reject the MUnVM. Cosmetic blemishes are not a cause for rejection unless they become severe enough to inter- fere with the ability to perform the mission.
  • Page 42 to check for edge glow, block out all light by cupping a hand over the objective lens. If the image intensifier is displaying edge glow the bright area will still show up. return the MUnVM to the main- tainer. eDGe GLOW FIGURE 2.4.
