Night Vision Pocket Scope

The MK-880 is a compact, high performance, versatile night vision system. In its standard configuration, the MK.880 is a handheld night vision pocketscope with 27mm ocular and 27mm objective lenses (providing 1 x system magnification). However, the user can select from among combinations of different lenses and adapters to reconfigure the system to suit a particular mission. The pocketscope is available with Generation II, SuperGen, or Generation III image intensification.

The unique design provides an exceptional degree of flexibility. For example, the pocketscope can be used as a surveillance device, for low-level photography, or when attached to a head mount accessory, as a hands-free system for covert operations.  It can also be converted into a night vision weapon sight. 

Unlike other pocketscopes, the housing design of the MK-880 permits the use of simple adapters to couple the system to any refractive or catadioptric objective lens, of any focal length, that may be desirable for a particular applica­tion.

OSTI offers a range of fixed focal length catadioptric lenses for use with Universal Night Sights and Night Vision Pocket Scope.
