High-quality 640 × 480 thermal imaging sensor for detailed observations

At the heart of the Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact is a high-quality, uncooled thermal imaging sensor with a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels and a pixel pitch of just 12 µm.

This sensor detects small temperature differences and converts them into a detailed thermal image. This allows heat sources to be clearly distinguished from their surroundings, even in the absence of visible light.

With a sensor NETD of less than 40 mK and a system NETD of less than 20 mK, the XG35 Compact offers excellent thermal sensitivity.

The high sensor resolution allows for precise observation of animals and other heat sources, while the 50 Hz frame rate ensures a smooth display of moving game.

Exceptional thermal sensitivity – system NETD less than 20 mK

One of the most important features of the Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact is its exceptionally high thermal sensitivity.

With a system NETD of less than 20 mK, the thermal imaging system can detect very small temperature differences. This offers significant advantages when the thermal contrast between game and the surroundings is minimal.

Especially during humid nights, foggy conditions, or in the rain, the difference between a high-quality thermal imaging scope and a less sensitive device can be clearly noticeable.

The XG35 Compact is therefore particularly well-suited for observations during:

• Damp nights with little thermal contrast.

• Foggy mornings and changing weather conditions.

• Nighttime observations in forests and agricultural areas.

• Detecting game against a background with minimal temperature differences.

• Extended observations where detailed image quality is important.

The combination of a sensitive sensor, high-light-transmission optics, and advanced image processing delivers a high-contrast thermal image that makes subtle temperature differences more visible.

Bright 35 mm F1.0 lens for maximum image performance

The Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact is equipped with a high-quality 35 mm F1.0 lens that ensures efficient transmission of thermal radiation to the sensor.

The fast F1.0 optics are an important complement to the sensitive 640 × 480 sensor and contribute to a clear, detailed thermal image.

Compared to the Axion XG30 Compact, which features a 30 mm F1.2 lens, the XG35 Compact offers a longer focal length and a faster lens.

This makes the XG35 particularly appealing to hunters who focus more on observations at medium and long ranges.

The high-quality optics also ensure accurate display of temperature differences, making it easier to distinguish heat sources from the background.

2.5x base magnification and digital zoom range up to 20x

With a base optical magnification of 2.5x, the Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact offers an excellent balance between field of view and detail.

The magnification can be digitally increased up to 20x, allowing heat sources at greater distances to be magnified further.

The 8x digital zoom range makes it easy to switch between a wide-angle view and a more highly magnified image.

Thanks to its slightly higher base magnification compared to the XG30 Compact, the XG35 is particularly well-suited for hunters who regularly observe game at medium ranges.

Please note that digital zoom does not increase the original sensor resolution. At higher zoom levels, the image is further magnified, so the visible details remain dependent on the original image quality.

Wide field of view for comfortable observation

The Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact has a field of view of 21.9 × 13.7 meters at 100 meters.

This provides a clear view of the surroundings and makes it possible to quickly locate heat sources and comfortably track moving game.

The field of view is slightly narrower than that of the Axion XG30 Compact, but, combined with the higher base magnification, it offers a good balance between overall view and detail perception.

This combination really shines, especially during observations along forest edges, on farmland, and in open hunting grounds.

Impressive detection range of up to 1,750 meters

Despite its compact size, the Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact boasts an impressive detection range of up to 1,750 meters.

Thanks to the powerful 35 mm objective lens and the high-quality thermal imaging sensor, heat sources can be detected even at considerable distances.

This makes the XG35 Compact particularly well-suited for hunters who want to observe larger areas without having to constantly change their position.

During nighttime observation of wildlife on vast agricultural plots, open fields, and along forest edges, the long detection range offers significant advantages.

The maximum detection range refers to the detection of a heat source under suitable conditions. The actual detection and identification range depends on factors such as the size of the animal, weather conditions, and the available thermal contrast.

Advanced image processing for optimal thermal imaging

The Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact features advanced image processing algorithms that allow the thermal image display to be adjusted to different observation conditions.

With three adjustable sensitivity gain levels, the user can adapt the image display to the available thermal contrast.
