High-purity lead oxide is used to make precision glasses needed for lasers, low-dose X-ray machines, fiber optic probes, medical camera systems, and low-light military equipment such as night vision scopes and goggles. 

Caesium compounds find application in pyrotechnic formulations to provide a source of near IR radiation for night vision devices which are widely used as electro-optical equipment for surveillance, searching and tracking in the near IR(NIR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Lohkamp suggested the use of... 

The ability to use equipment while wearing a respirator has already been mentioned. The problem is that the respirator s bulk can obstruct the wearer s access to other equipment, particularly equipment that comes into direct contact with parts of the respirator. The main respirator components involved are the eyepieces/visor and the filter canister(s), and the main pieces of equipment are shoulder-held and fired weapons, optical equipment, such as weapon sights, binoculars, night vision aids, and communications equipment. 

Speaking of military fuel cell applications, we must first point out the following. Most versions of fuel cell-based power plants are of ambivalent utility they are just as good for civil as for military purposes. Thus, the stationary power plants of different sizes used for unintermptible emergency power supplies for military objects such as forts, command centers, radar stations, and the like do not differ in any way from similar power plants for civil use in hospitals, telecommunications installations, computer centers of banks, and so on. Power plants for automotive land and water-bound means of transport are equally good for civil and for military vehicles. This is true, even more directly, for power sources intended to supply portable equipment. A lower volume and weight of all equipment carried by soldiers in combat (e.g., as a means of communication, as a means of orientation, as night-vision devices) is a very important point for land forces. 

Radiation emitted from the human body and warm objects is mostly infrared, which is detected by burglar alarms, military night-vision scopes, and similar equipment. 

Apart from domestic applications, a need for new, improved power sources of small size also arose in different portable devices to be used in the military sector, such as night-vision devices and individual communication equipment. 

An image intensifier is a device with an electronic tube equipped with a light-sensitive electron emitter at one end and a phosphor screen at the other. This device is used in astronomy and in military and nonmilitary surveillance systems to provide night vision. An image intensifier amplifies available visible andNIR (0.3-0.9 pm) light reflected off the target surface and therefore cannot operate in total darkness.
