From Night Vision Guys about ATN ThOR-640 2.25-18x50 30HZ NMS Thermal Riflescope
When it comes to thermal weapon sights, ATN ThOR is an easy choice. ATN has been in thermal rifle scope business for many years now. There have been a lot of technological advancements thanks to the upgrades in FLIR cores and significant price reductions in recent years. As a result, we now have the latest generation of the ThOR thermal weapon sight line. ATN calls ThOR a "weapon sight", but really this is a rifle scope. It is hard to see this device mounted on a hand gun and it is certainly tubular in shape which justifies a "scope" name more than a "sight" name. Other than this minor fluke, ATN has yet again hit the nail on the head with this model.
From electronics and software to ergonomics, ATN ThOR-640 2.25-18x50 30HZ leaves little off the table. With this great thermal riflescope you get 5 reticle patterns and multiple colors, 12 color pallet modes for the image, e-zoom, video output, 8 hours of operation on a set of 3 CR123A batteries (with ability to run on 1,2, or 3 batteries only), and 1500 meters to human detection. ThOR thermal scopes are covered by 3 year warranty on the body and 10 year warranty on the thermal core. This is the best warranty in the industry.
All of the above priced in under $6,500! Bottom line is if you are in the market for a thermal riflescope which would allow you to hunt for hogs or predators without any concern for fog, smoke or darkness, ATN ThOR line of riflescopes and ATN ThOR-640 2.25-18x 30HZ in particular is an easy choice.
NMS stands for "non mil spec". This means that the unit has not been rated for mil spec. This allows ATN to reduce the price of the unit while still offering most of the same features and quality as with mil spec units.

Thermal Imaging
Please note that most thermal devices are built per order. It may take 3-5 days or more for your order to ship. If timely shipping is important to you, please, contact us to verify availability prior to ordering.
Thermal devices can produce various types of images. Some are color others are monochrome. In either case change in shade or color indicates temperature differences.
Here is how thermal imaging devices work...
A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view.
The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of the detector array.
The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.
There are a few key Manufacturers when it comes to thermal imaging.
ATN: produce such well knows devies as ThOR-HD thermal scope, BINOX-THD thermal binoculars, and OTS-HD thermal monocular.
FLIR/Armasight: the largest maker of consumer level thermal products is well knows for their full product line. Zeus thermal scopes, Q14 and Scout monoculars, Helios and Scout binoculars and many more.
Pulsar: a very popular brand for digital night vision and thermal imaging. Key products include Pulsar Trail and Apex thermal scopes and Pulsar Helion and Quantum thermal monoculars.
Seek: mobile device mounted thermal cameras are the main products of this brand.
Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for ATN ThOR-640 NMS 2.25-18x50 30HZ NMS Thermal Rifle Scope:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like ATN ThOR-640 NMS 2.25-18x50 30HZ NMS Thermal Rifle Scope assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:
- Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
- QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
- Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
- QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
- Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
- Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.
Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice. It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.
