From Night Optics USA about Panther 336 Thermal Rifle Scope

The Panther 336 Thermal Riflescope is a no-nonsense, purpose built shooting system for those who are serious about Infrared performance and quality! We've taken our time to engineer what we believe is a massive step forward in the crowd of thermal riflescopes available today.

Panther 336 is deceptively lightweight and easy to use. The high grade 50mm germanium objective features an optical focus adjustment knob similar to those found on our industry leading D-7 series night vision riflescopes. A high resolution 600H x 800W display with selectable auto or manual brightness control delivers impressive, crisp images at each digital magnification level. Button layout was one of the most important aspects in developing the Panther riflescope. We believe that the shooters experience while using the system should be simple, yet intuitive. With certain buttons designed with tactile elements the user can easily distinguish what button is being pressed without looking.

 

The absolute most important feature that sets the Panther Riflescope apart from the rest is the ultra simplistic and minimalist system menu. Taking queues from users of other thermal riflescopes as well as our first generation TS Series riflescopes, our engineers were able to create, what we think is the best menu system out there. It doesn't need to be that difficult! The menu screen consists of 3 options. From those options the user can adjust windage and elevation, color palette, reticle type and color as well as automatic shutter and brightness control. By removing fluff and confusion, menu selections can be made on-the-fly without hassle. We will continue to refine the menu firmware over time, making it even better and even more useful.

The Panther thermal riflescope utilizes 2 3v CR123 batteries which deliver more than 4 hrs of continuous use. A durable flip-up cap protects the sensitive germanium optics, while a soft rubber eye cup provides substantial comfort and eye relief.

The Panther 336 thermal riflescope is proudly hand-built and tested in the United States!

Comments from a user:

"I work at Lizard Lope and do most of the night hog hunting. Out of the box the Night Optics Panther 336 Thermal Weapon Sight is hands-down better than the FLIR RS64. It has a better picture quality and the resolution seems equal. The FLIR riflescope picture has too much bloom even after adjusting the settings. The night optics scope is also more user friendly and one can quickly get used to the controls. This is especially good since it is used mostly in total darkness."

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 Night Optics Panther 336 2-8x50 Thermal Riflescope 336X256:

Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like Night Optics Panther 336 2-8x50 Thermal Riflescope 336X256 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.
