A low light imaging device including an optical input structured to define a
line
of sight, a thermal imaging assembly responsive to radiation signatures disposed
within the line of sight, an image intensification assembly responsive to photons
within the line of sight, and an optical output structured to provide an output
image to be viewed. The thermal imaging assembly generates a thermal image representative
of the radiation signatures, and a thermal image adjustment assembly is provided
to adjust an amount of the thermal image which defines the output image. Similarly,
the image intensification assembly generates an enhanced photon based image, a
photon image adjustment assembly being provided to adjust an amount of the enhanced
photon based image which defines the output image. An output image generation assembly
is included to generate the output image from adjusted the thermal image and enhanced
photon based image.
