The viewer is equipped with a built-in infrared illuminator to be able to see even when no light is present. The optical magnification is 1x, but optical 3x or 5x zoom lenses are optionally available. This means that there are no 'spots' in the field of view, so you have a razor sharp, white/blue-ish image. The monocular is equipped with an IIT with a cosmetic level 1. The AGM NVM50 is compact and lightweight and has a battery life of up to 40 hours. The large 51 degrees FOV is indispensable in situations where there may be many obstacles, such as trees or inside a house. This color change improves object recognition and at the same time gives a higher contrast sensitivity compared to traditional night vision green images.

The unit is equipped with a Gen 2+ IIT (image intensifier tube) that provides an alternative coloring closer to black and white images.

The NVM50 is a high-end night vision monocular in White Phosphor version, equipped with a 19mm lens and a very wide 51 degree field of view. The AGM NVM50 is the best of night vision available for the commercial market.
