Abstract
A telescopic sight assembly has formed therewith a rotatable or adjustable housing which housing includes an image intensifier tube and suitable optics to be used in conjunction with a conventional telescopic assembly. By means of a simple action associated with the telescopic sight, a user can rotate a control knob or lever and, hence, change operation of the sight for day to nighttime use, or vice versa. Included in the assembly is a conventional image intensifier module and the necessary electronics to operate the module. The housing is rotatable or pivotable and includes means which can be selected by the user to select night or daytime operation and, hence, afford the user telescopic viewing together with image intensification as desired. The device is particularly adaptable to be mounted in conjunction with small arms type systems.
