NIGHT VISION TECHNOLOGY ABSTRACT A night vision device (NVD) is an optical installment that allows images to be produced in levels of light approaching total darkness. They are most often used by the military and law enforcement agencies‚ but are available to civilian users. The term usually refers to a complete unit‚ including an image intensifier tube‚ a protective and generally water-resistant housing‚ and some type of mounting system. Many NVDs also include sacrificial lenses‚ IR illuminators

n physics‚ energy is an indirectly observed quantity which comes in many forms‚ such as kinetic energy‚ potential energy‚ radiant energy‚ and many others; which are listed in this summary article. This is a major topic in science and technology and this article gives an overview of its major aspects‚ and provides links to the many specific articles about energy in its different forms and contexts. The question "what is energy?" is difficult to answer in a simple‚ intuitive way‚ although energy can

process fine details or color differences‚ but are highly sensitive to light. A single flash of light is all that is require to produce a response from a rod cell. Rod cells function as specialized neurons that convert visual stimuli in the form of photons (particles of light) into chemical and electrical stimuli. Rod cells are responsible for perceiving the size‚ shape‚ and brightness of visual images. -The rod cell is one of two types of photoreceptive cells in the retina of the eye in vertebrate

a process that transfers energy from light to chemical reactions in cells. This chemical reaction is caused by a protein called vivid‚ which contains chromophore – a light absorbing molecules. As stated in the research‚ the chromophore captures a photon or particle of light‚ and the captured energy from the light triggers a series of interactions that ultimately lead to conformational changes on the surface of the vivid protein. These structural changes on the proteins surface kick off a cascade

subatomic particles—usually a nucleus of protons and neutrons‚ and a cloud of orbiting electrons.[3][4] Typically‚ science considers these composite particles matter because they have both rest mass and volume. By contrast‚ massless particles‚ such as photons‚ are not considered matter‚ because they have neither rest mass nor volume. However‚ not all particles with rest mass have a classical volume‚ since fundamental particles such as quarks and leptons (sometimes equated with matter) are considered "point
