Warrior East – MATBOCK Tarsier Eclipse

Thursday, July 14th, 2016

MARBOCk told me that three years of work have paid off. Tarsier Eclipse is NAVAIR approved and will be added to the NATOPS!

For those of you unfamiliar with Tarsier Eclipse, it’s an add-on, easily adjustable iris for the objective lens of night vision devices which facilitates quick focus. With a twist of the adjuster, the iris opens and closes (as you can see above) in order to fine tune the focus for up close work. It also works as a sacrificial lens in order to prevent lens damage.
