Pulsar's Merger LRF XT50 thermal imaging binoculars are the first from Pulsar to feature a 1280×1024, 12µm, <40mK NETD thermal sensor. The impressive sensor and fast aperture (F50/1.0) Germanium lens provide detailed images of exceptional quality, allowing for the identification of animals and landscape features even in conditions such as rain and fog where the thermal contrast is low. The binocular design makes use less fatiguing to the eye than a traditional thermal scope and the 63-74 mm adjustable interpupillary distance ensures that the XT50 can be adjusted to suit the needs of any user. Eight colour palettes - white hot, black hot, and red hot (designed for object detection), rainbow and ultramarine (suitable for identification of animals and features), and sepia, red monochrome, and violet for long periods of use further enable the user to tailor the experience to their needs. The use of both eyes makes it easier to pick out fine details in the view, making these binoculars particularly suitable for purposes such as bat surveys.

The Merger LRF XT50 features an unbeatable 17.5° field of view offering an extensive observation area reducing the need for scanning in the field. It also offers a variable magnification of 2.0-16x and a digital zoom of 8x, making it suitable for use over long distances. With the model's impressive detection range, a 'standard' 1.8m tall object or animal will be detected up to 2300 metres away in complete darkness. The built-in laser rangefinder offers a measurement range of up to 1500m ± 1m in single measurements or continuous scanning modes for rapid assessments of the landscape, making the XT50 a valuable navigational tool for those working at night

The impressive 64Gb internal memory enables the XT50 to store hours of video or thousands of photographs. The built-in image and video recording technology makes it easier than ever to record essential moments, whether they be the highlights of a safari trip or rare bat records from an ecological survey. Media can be transferred to other devices via the USB-C connection or the Stream Vision 2 app's free 16GB of cloud storage. The inbuilt WiFi module supports both 2.4GHz channels for easy connection to smart phones and similar devices as well as a 5G connection to offer a better experience when transferring media to a compatible device.

The advanced dual battery system features a built in, rechargeable Li-Ion battery and a replaceable, rechargeable APS3 battery providing up to 6 hours of battery life, allowing you to continue your observations through the day and into the night

Stream Vision 2, the companion app, enables quick and convenient connection to both android and iOS devices. It can be used to browse and download media, share files with friends, install firmware updates, and even remotely control the binoculars. Changes made can be viewed in real-time on your smartphone screen.

The XT50 features a lightweight but extremely durable magnesium alloy housing, making them resistant to even the harshest conditions. They are resistant to shocks, impacts, and temperature. They are waterproofed with an IPX7 rating (can be submerged in up to 1m of water for up to 30m). The magnesium alloy also acts as a heat sink, protecting the user's hands by dissipating the heat produced by the internal electronics and increasing the consistency of operation in the long term.
