This is the scope itself, and what is apparently a camera adapter that goes where the eyepiece is located. I have ever never used the adapter. The scope has a little refresh button on the side that you use if you have been viewing for ten or more seconds. It is of course a green image. I have no idea how much light gain you get, but it makes even completely black interior rooms visible. There is a black cover on the front to protect the receptors when powered up. There is an almost invisibly small hole that allows testing without endangering the receptors.
It includes an infrared illuminator that makes low visibility objects visible. The instruction manual is in Russian, but the only markings are in English on the illuminator.
History: shortly after the Wall came down, a friend in Munich acquired this for me. He thought it was looted Red Army equipment. I am sure it was a commercial product (English warning). It uses AA batteries and a 12V battery. It works but I have no use for it. The one on eBay is listed at $195, and is the last one available. Make me an offer.
