The Pulsar Helion XQ38F Thermal Monocular is designed for use both in the night-time and during the day in adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) to see through obstacles hindering detection of targets (branches, tallgrass, thick bushes etc.). Unlike the image intensifier tube based night vision device, the Pulsar Helion XQ38F Thermal Monocular requires no external source of light and is not affected by bright light exposure.
 
The Pulsar Helion XQ38F Thermal Monocular features a build-in video recorder, protection against water exposure during short-term submersion, a digital zoom and is frost-resistant.
