Important Information
Thermal imaging and night vision products are strictly controlled by ITAR regulations and are subject to UK Government Export Licensing Regulations. Dependent on specification, a licence may need to be obtained prior to the export, even temporarily (e.g. holiday), from the UK. Learn more here:
Additionally, some countries may be embargoed and no thermal imagers or night vision devices may be taken or exported to them. It is the responsibility of the exporter, whether it be a company or individual, to ensure that such a licence is obtained. Failure to comply is a criminal offence.
WHY CHOOSE PULSAR
In 2023, Pulsar achieved the goal of moving every aspect of our operations into Europe. Cutting ties with manufacturers in countries that could experience unforeseen upheavals, means Pulsar no longer has to worry about unknown hurdles during the manufacturing process.
Add in Europe’s strict guidelines when it comes to quality and standards, along with their ethical working conditions and fair labour practices, and you get products that are only ever made with painstaking attention to detail and a dedication to performance and innovation.
At the end of the day, Pulsar aren’t just building gear – we’re building trust with the people who rely on it, and that’s something we take seriously.
TRANSPARENT SPECIFICATIONS
We believe spec sheets should reflect what users actually experience — not just ideal lab conditions. That’s why we publish clear, honest, and comparable performance data across all key areas.
Thermal Sensitivity: Sensor (NETD) vs. System NETD (sNETD)
We provide two types of NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference):
• Sensor NETD shows the raw sensitivity of the sensor, without enhancements.
• System NETD (sNETD) includes image processing and reflects how the complete device performs in real use.
To ensure our performance is judged on equal terms we quote both NETD and System NETD (sNETD) - the same standard many brands use. Unlike some brands, we avoid excessive filtering that lowers NETD at the cost of clarity, detail, and performance while moving. With Pulsar, you get advanced processing - without sacrificing image quality.
MINIMAL IMAGE LATENCY
Image latency refers to the time delay between a realworld thermal event and its appearance on a thermal imager’s display. This delay is caused by the sensor’s response time and the device’s internal processing. In wildlife research—particularly during bat surveys — low image latency is critical. Pulsar’s thermal imaging devices are highly regarded for their minimal latency, allowing researchers to track fast-moving animals with greater accuracy and confidence.
Detection Ranges You Can Trust
Honest Battery Life
Our detection ranges are calculated using Johnson’s Criteria, the industry benchmark for thermal performance. All figures are based on standard target sizes and repeatable testing — so what’s listed is what’s achievable in the field.
Our proprietary batteries allow us to accurately quote runtime at a standard temperature for consistency. Actual performance varies depending on how you use features like Wi-Fi, video recording, or the laser rangefinder — and we make that clear. Our goal is simple: reliable, real-world figures, not marketing exaggerations.
BUILT TO LAST
Every Pulsar device has been built to withstanding the bumps, knocks, and scrapes one would expect during a long day or night in the field. Each model features a robust construction that has been designed to keep your device running at the top of its game in adverse weather and extreme temperatures.
SAFE & RELIABLE PULSAR POWER SUPPLY
Pulsar devices use their own unique batteries, to ensure two things — your safety and the continued smooth operation of your devices. There are several benefits to choosing a B-Pack over Lithium-Ion batteries, including their ability to display the charge level directly on your device’s screen (a crucial feature for long days and nights in the field), and the ability to recharge them inside or outside of the device via a USB-C charger. But it is your safety that takes precedence.
B-Packs use a special casing that features a microcontroller to control the charging and discharging processes, monitor temperature, and protect against external damage. The B-Pack’s special protective casing prevents short circuits and overheating, significantly reducing the risk of combustion that comes with conventional Lithium-Ion batteries.
CHOICE OF THERMAL SENSORS
All Pulsar products use high-quality French-made Lynred thermal sensors, available in two pixel pitches—17µm and 12µm—with multiple resolution options: 17µm pixel sensors: 384×288 & 640×480 / 12µm pixel sensors: 640×480, 1024×768, & 1280×1024
Each pixel pitch offers distinct advantages:
17µm pixels are larger and can capture more infrared radiation, resulting in a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This improves thermal sensitivity, especially in low-contrast environments. Because these sensors gather more thermal energy per pixel, they often require less aggressive image enhancement, which can lead to faster image processing and reduced power consumption.
12µm pixels, while smaller, typically come at a lower cost and allow for greater base magnification due to their higher resolution options. These sensors are ideal when fine detail and larger sensor arrays are needed.
UPGRADEABLE DEVICES
Pulsar’s not just about what’s happening now – we’re thinking about what’s next. We don’t want to just follow trends; we want to create solutions that last. That’s why, with the release of the Telos series back in 2023, we introduced the first upgradeable thermal imaging devices to the market, providing enhanced longevity and ensuring our users could get the best from their device for years to come, without having to buy a completely new product.
Thermal Imaging Binoculars
MERGER LRF SERIES
HD Thermal Performance with Built-in Image Stabilisation.
Two viewfinders are better than one, especially when it comes to comfort in the field, and comfort is what the Merger LRF series has been designed for. Achieving hours of fatigue-free long-range observation, every model in the series has been ergonomically designed — with six buttons controlling the most commonly used functions and settings conveniently arranged where your fingers would naturally rest — whilst retaining the familiar design aesthetics usually found in a pair of traditional day binoculars. Plus, the ability to choose between square, rounded, and circular display shapes to match your preferences adds that extra level of comfort and customisability.
But this focus on comfort in no way detracts from
the durability and performance of these devices. Each model features premium quality Europeanmade components, providing an outstanding thermal performance, whilst their robust magnesium alloy construction ensures this performance is never hindered by adverse weather conditions or extreme temperatures.
Two models are available in the Merger LRF series — the compact Merger LRF XP35 and the premium HD Merger LRF XT50 — both, as their names suggest, feature a builtin precision laser rangefinder for greater accuracy and informativity in the field. Precise measurements can be gathered at distances reaching up to 1000m ±1m (XP35) and 1500m ±1m (XT50).

AXION COMPACT SERIES
Get more for less.
True to its name, the Axion Compact series features three of Pulsar’s smallest thermal imaging monoculars, but their size is by no means an indication of their performance. Each device in the series will offer an incredibly powerful thermal performance.
The compact footprint of each device allows for easy stowage in a pocket or binocular harness when not
in use, making the Axion Compact series the ideal choice for keen observers looking for a device to complement their day binoculars. Small but mighty, each monocular in series uses a robust magnesium alloy construction, enduring harsh weather conditions, extreme temperatures, and heavy use, all without impeding its performance.
Offering <20 mK thermal sensitivity— matching premium models—the Axion XQ30 Pro features compact handling, reliable imaging, and delivers value for those seeking professional-grade performance without the premium price tag.
The Axion Compact XG30 offers the widest field of view in the series at 14.6° and a larger digital magnification range, making it ideal for detection without excessive searching and scanning, as well as close-up observation.
