Thermal Imaging Riflescopes
Thermion 2 LRF XG50
The Thermion 2 LRF XG50 thermal imaging riflescope is the latest addition to the XG family. It offers a larger 3x native magnification which makes it ideal for hunting smaller quarry. Its extremely sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40mK NETD thermal sensor, combined with a powerful 50mm f1.0 germanium objective lens, offers pin-sharp, richly contrasted thermal imagery and an astonishing detection range of up to 2300m.
With a precision laser rangefinder integrated above the optical channel you will be able to gather error-free assessments in the observation area (up to 1000m with an accuracy of ±1m) whilst retaining the classic riflescope design that has become a staple of the Thermion 2 series.
Talion XG35
Another addition to the XG series is the Talion XG35, the first compact thermal imaging riflescope in the Talion series to feature a more sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40mK NETD XG thermal sensor. Achieving a 1750m detection range, the Talion XG35 presents crystal clear thermal imagery onto a 1024х768 HD AMOLED display, providing you with enhanced detection and identification capabilities whilst remaining incredibly lightweight and compact.
Talion XQ35 Pro
The first Talion model in the XQ Pro series, the Talion XQ35 Pro, features a 384×288, 17 µm thermal sensor, with upgraded <25mK NETD thermal sensitivity. Couple this with a powerful 35mm f1.0 germanium objective lens and this device delivers highly detailed, crystal clear thermal imagery at distances reaching up to 1350m.
Remaining just as compact and lightweight as previous iterations in the Talion series, the Talion XQ35 Pro is equipped with an APS 5T battery for an uninterrupted effective operation time of up to 9 hours.
Multispectral Devices
Thermion Duo DXP50/DXP55
The new Thermion Duo series contain the first multispectral thermal imaging riflescopes from Pulsar, with two new devices in the product range: the Thermion Duo DXP50 and the Thermion Duo DXP55. Both offer the detection capabilities of thermal imaging with the identification capabilities of 4K day optics.
Both of these intuitive new riflescopes use a highly sensitive, European-made 640×480, 17µm, <25mK NETD Lynred thermal sensor to provide a detection range of up to 1800m, and a 3840×2160 4K CMOS sensor that delivers crystal clear, high-definition day optics with accurate colour rendering.
Thermal Imaging Binoculars
Merger LRF XL50
One of the most exciting product launches to come out of the Great British Shooting Show was the reveal of the new Merger LRF XL50 thermal binoculars, the first in the Pulsar range to offer an unprecedented high-resolution 1080×760, 12µm, 40mK thermal sensor. Combining this sensor with a powerful 50mm f1.0 fast aperture objective lens enables the Merger LRF XL50 to provide exceptional levels of thermal clarity at a range of up to 2300m, which delivers a crystal clear picture regardless of what magnification the device is set at.
Merger LRF XQ35
A more compact addition to the Merger series, the Merger LRF XQ35 features a much smaller design that is perfect for those who want a more familiar feel to their thermal imaging devices. With a small form factor, these thermal imaging binoculars fit comfortably in the hand, but still offer appealing external aesthetics and exemplary ergonomics. As small as a pair of regular daytime binoculars, the Merger LRF XQ35 still packs a punch, offering a generous 1350m detection range via its 384×288, 17µm, < 25 mK NETD, European-made Lynred sensor and 35mm f1.0 fast aperture germanium objective lens.
Merger Duo NXP50
The new Merger Duo NXP50 is the first pair of multispectral binoculars in the Pulsar range made available to the UK market. They offer the user the detection capabilities of thermal imaging with the identification capabilities of digital night vision via the perfect synergy between their sensitive thermal sensor and powerful CMOS sensor.
The Merger Duo NXP50 will allow users to quickly and seamlessly transition between both thermal and digital night vision whilst retaining the classic binocular design that has become synonymous with the Merger name.
More information coming soon.
Thermal Imaging Monoculars
Telos LRF XP50
The new Telos LRF XP50 is Pulsar’s first upgradable thermal imaging monocular with a built-in precision laser rangefinder – its technical components can be upgraded to allow you to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technological advances.
Achieving astonishing levels of thermal sensitivity through its <18mK NETD, 640×480, 17µm European-made Lynred sensor and powerful 50mm f1.0 germanium objective lens, the Telos LRF XP50 will present incredibly detailed and informative thermal imagery, even in adverse and unforgiving weather conditions.
The built-in precision laser rangefinder allows for quick, error-free distance measurements up to 1000m in single steps or continuous scanning mode.
Ergonomically designed to remain comfortable over long periods of observation, the Telos LRF XP50 features a rubberised bodyshell; an easily accessible button layout; an adjustable hand strap that requires no removal to switch from left to right-handed orientation; and convenient focus and magnification wheels located at the front of the lens to enable a clear image at any level of magnification.
Axion 2 LRF XQ35 Pro & Axion 2 XQ35 Pro
Two new additions to the Axion family, the Axion 2 XQ35 Pro and its LRF counterpart, the Axion 2 LRF XQ35 Pro each feature 384×288, 17µm, <25mK NETD thermal sensors and 35mm f1.0 germanium objective lenses for impressive detection capabilities that reach up to 1300m.
Both models offer an extended battery life of up to 11 hours of effective operation before a recharge is needed (depending on temperature), making it the perfect choice for those looking to achieve long periods of comfortable handheld thermal observation.
Each new model retains the ergonomic design found in previous iterations, ensuring you don’t feel any fatigue whilst using the device, especially over long periods of use, and the magnesium alloy bodyshell is as robust as ever, protecting the device from wear whilst working effectively as a heatsink to dissipate any warmth generated by the internal electronics.
Thermal Imaging Attachments
Krypton 2 FXG50 & XG50
The Krypton 2 FXG50 scope attachment has been redesigned to offer a greater balance between the scope and rifle. Its body is now more compact and lightweight and the button placement has been redesigned to make it easier to reach.
An outstanding 2300m detection range is achieved through an extremely sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40mK NETD thermal sensor and powerful 50mm f1.0 fast aperture germanium objective lens, offering the user the ability to detect an animals heat signature at long range in adverse weather conditions and even through small gaps in dense foliage.
This scope attachment can be turned into the Krypton 2 XG50 with the addition of the the Pulsar 3x20B compact monocular
Krypton 2 FXQ35 & XQ35
The Krypton 2 FXQ35 is a scope attachment that offers a 1300m detection range through its 384×288, 17µm, <25mK NETD thermal sensor and 35mm f1.0 fast aperture germanium objective lens. Physically more compact than the FXG50, the FXQ35 still boasts a rugged magnesium alloy bodyshell that will protect it from shocks and heavy vibrations.
The FXQ35 can be transformed into the Krypton 2 XQ35 handheld thermal imaging device using the Pulsar 3x20B compact monocular to become a fully-fledged thermal imaging spotter.
