AXION KEY IR-matrix (microbolometer) based thermal imaging monoculars are represented by a number of models that differ in magnification and lens diameter. These devices are designed for use both at night-time and during the day in difficult weather conditions (fog, smog, rain), as well as where obstacles are present that impede the detection of a target (branches, tall grass, dense shrubs etc.). Unlike night-vision devices that are based on electron-optical converters, thermal vision monoculars do not require an external light source and are resistant to the effects of bright light.
AXION KEY monoculars can be used for night-time hunting, observation and terrain orientation, and carrying out rescue operations.

Small Pocket-sized Format:
Designed to fit perfectly in one hand or a pocket of a standard size, Axion Key ensures comfortable grip position and easy
carrying. Compact size of thermal imager makes it an optimal portable unit for scouting and spotting.
Long Detection Range:
Powerful objective lens in combination with a 12 µm professional grade thermal imaging sensor provides exceptional detection capabilities. A standard 1,8 m (6 ft) tall object can be detected at a 1700 m (1800 yds) distance in complete darkness.
12 µm Thermal Imaging Sensor:
New thermal imaging sensor with 12 µm pixel pitch helps to achieve higher optic magnification and observation distance and simultaneously helps to make the unit more compact.
Rugged Magnesium Alloy Housing:
Housing made from light weight magnesium alloy ensures high structural rigidity and ruggedness while retaining small weight and ergonomics.
Color Palettes:
The 8-color palette enhances viewing in varying conditions. While the classic “White Hot” mode is exceptionally versatile, “Hot Black” is often favored for detecting wildlife at night. Red monochrome helps to reduce or prevent bright backlight from exiting the eyepiece. Sepia often improves long-range observation while “Red Hot”, “Rainbow” and “Ultramarine” enhance temperature differences of various object attributes. Violet helps to identify objects faster.
Instant Start-up:
Thanks to the new revolutionary electronics unit can be started almost instantly. Quick start-up helps to save energy and thus prolongs time of operation. The unit can be kept in a pocket and then rapidly activated when the right time comes.
Picture in Picture Function:
Upon activation Picture in Picture function displays second small image with magnification in the top part of the screen. Small image helps to zoom in on a target while retaining the rest of the field of view visible.
IPX7 Waterproof Rated:
IPX7 waterproof-rated for protection from heavy rainfall, snow or other precipitation. The Axion Key is designed to run
flawlessly, even after submersion in up to 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
Lightweight:
Small weight becomes important when outdoor trip is long and each piece of equipment adds to a total load that has to be carried on the back. Axion Key weighs around 250 grams not more than a regular rangefinder unit but offers far more significant capabilities.
