There are 2 primary technologies that are used for night vision devices: image intensification and thermal imaging. Image intensification (I2) is best for seeing details like maps, because it works by intensifying the existing light spectrum. Low levels of ambient light pass through a photocathode that converts the light photons to electrons, then amplifies them.
