Infrared Illuminators- For ghost hunting this technology works great, now allowing the user to see in low illuminated conditions where the unaided eye could not.  The night vision technology gives additional light to camcorders able to record in 0 lux.  This isInfrared illuminator Phantom Lite for ghost hunting perfect for ghost hunting!

There are different illuminators that can bring light to the darkest room.  The infrared illuminators utilize the infrared spectrum to illuminate an area.  This is then recorded by camcorders outfitted with the technology to pick that up.  This is common on many camcorders and is called different thing such as Sony Night Shot.

 

Infrared illuminators can come in various forms.  Everything from the image you see here which is several inches by several inches, to small unites that attach right to your camcorder's cold shoe.  We also carry versions on GetGhostGear.com that are in a flashlight style.  The modern ghost hunter has many options for night time illumination.

 

Straight Night vision units come in several designs such as goggles, binoculars and monoscopes. There are several different forms of this technology that have been evolving as technology further develops.  The industry of image enhancing has labeled these different forms or evolutions as different 'Generations'.  Starting with Generation 0 implemented in World War II, progressing to Generation I, Generation II and Generation III.  We have noticed some retailers touting Generation IV technology (as early as 2000) with the night vision units they are selling.  Infrared illuminator built into a digital camcorder

Here is a quick overview of how some of the night vision technology actually works.  The first piece of your night vision apparatus is what is called an objective lens.  This lens may not be all that different than those found on ordinary cameras and common binoculars.  Its job is to collect the light and focus it on to the photo cathode.  Enhancing the light or 'photons' present in your darkened situation is what's called a photo cathode.  The photo cathode used in night vision technology gets excited when exposed to light (photons) altering their state to electricity or "electrons".  In most Generation I night vision units the electrons are accelerated by an electrostatic charge typically produced by a cone shaped anode and a field forming electrode all powered by the battery of the unit.  It is at this point that in most Generation II units the electricity moves through what is called a 'microchannel plate'.  This plate is constructed of glass and shaped as a disc.  This 'microchannel plate' takes place of the electrostatic charge typically produced by a cone shaped anode and a field forming electrode found in Generation I units.  The microchannel plate is lined with openings, tiny angled holes that allow the image that is now in the form of electrons to pass through.  While doing so these electrons grow in great number by gathering additional electrons released from the charged 'microchannel plate'.  In either Generation I or II it is this large amount of electrons that are then striking a divider covered with phosphors.  Phosphor has the property of emitting light (photons) when struck with an electrical charge (electrons) facilitating the user to view the otherwise dark image as illuminated.  The classic green image associated with night vision is produced by the phosphors in the unit. 

 

Goggles generally present better perception and when used with head straps offer hands free use.  There was recently produced a toy version of the night vision goggle retailing for around $80.  We will have a review of this "toy" product as soon as possible.
