TILO stands for 'Thermal Imaging Light Optic' and was developed as a thermal imaging goggle. With a length of 4-6cm and a weight of 100g-150g, it is the smallest and lightest thermal imaging goggle in the world. It can be worn on helmets, caps, and headbands. Currently, there is no comparable device with such high technical performance in such a small design. The performance is on par with larger handheld systems. For instance, the TILO-6 features a thermal sensor with high resolution, boasting 640x512 pixels. Furthermore, all devices in the series are equipped with high-performance LEDs. Some TILO models have a thermal resolution of at least 20mK. This allows them to display temperature differences of less than 0.02°C, which is a significant advantage in adverse weather conditions or indoor settings.
Eyepiece optics
With conventional linear optics, the TILO would not be the shortest thermal imaging goggles in the world. Therefore, a specially folded eyepiece optics was developed for the devices, which is also very tolerant in regard to the eye position. Thus, both eye distance and eye position are tolerated over a wide range. This is an important prerequisite for the use as thermal imaging goggles on a tactical helmet. In addition, the maximum possible eye relief of 25mm means that safety glasses can be worn comfortably between the eye and the TILO.
