Abstract
A night vision scope which includes an improved voltage supply. A battery generates a voltage which is proportionally increased by a voltage step-up circuit to provide a voltage to an image intensifier and an infrared light source of the night vision scope. The voltage supply includes circuitry for limiting the voltage output of the voltage supply circuit if a battery is used which generates a voltage greater than that required by the elements of the night vision scope.
