Abstract: A low light imaging device including an optical input structured to define a line of sight, a thermal imaging assembly responsive to radiation signatures disposed within the line of sight, an image intensification assembly responsive to photons within the line of sight, and an optical output structured to provide an output image to be viewed. The thermal imaging assembly generates a thermal image representative of the radiation signatures, and a thermal image adjustment assembly is provided to adjust an amount of the thermal image which defines the output image. Similarly, the image intensification assembly generates an enhanced photon based image, a photon image adjustment assembly being provided to adjust an amount of the enhanced photon based image which defines the output image. An output image generation assembly is included to generate the output image from adjusted the thermal image and enhanced photon based image.
