This is a brief overview of the Pulsar CORE FXQ38. This unit can be used as a handheld or as a thermal forward attachment (clip on) in front of a day scope. This is accomplished by swapping out the ocular lens for an adapter that links to a bushing that is attached to the front of a day scope. More to come on how this all works.
The unit uses the same 384X288 50hz sensor that the Apex and quantum line of thermals use. This is a very easy thermal unit to use and doesn't have all the internal options that other scopes have. It is very similar in operation to the CORE RXQ30V in that is doesn't have video out. But, it does have brightness, contrast, 3 preset scenario modes, dead pixel correction, and a way to zero the thermal with your day scope to maintain the same point of impact. The screen is a nice emerald green that is easy on the eyes during multiple hours of use. Hot items have a nice nuclear green glow to them like irradiated zombies or something. It makes it easy for things to stand out.
There is a 2X digital zoom on top of the 2X native magnification of the lens. You can swap the polarity of the color palette (white hot/black hot, but in hues of green). The viewing display is a 640X480 AMOLED.
More video through the scope will follow.
EDIT: To clarify. The FXQ38 and 50 can mount to more then a 42mm objective. There are 3 adapters. Each adapter comes with a range of bushings. Here is a chart to help clear it up. Even the chart is mos leading. The important th I'm my to inspect is the outer diameter of the housing of the objective side of the scope. Match that to the closest bushing.
