Night vision technology often utilizes cistrans isomers, particularly in the context of photoreceptive compounds like rhodopsin found in the retina. In low-light conditions, these compounds undergo structural changes between cis and trans forms when they absorb photons, triggering a biochemical response that sends signals to the brain. This process enhances our ability to see in dim light by amplifying the available light signals. Essentially, the conversion of light into a neural signal relies on the isomerization of these molecules, enabling night vision.

Is there anyway to hide a security camera from someone using night vision or heat vision?

Not exactly my specialty there, but I will say that night vision would probably pick up a camera, but it could easily be confused with other things like heating ducts.


Is night vision and infrared vision the same?

No, night vision is the ability to see in low light condition and infrared vision is the capability of biological or artificial systems to detect infrared radiation. The terms thermal vision and thermal imaging, are also commonly used in this context since infrared emissions from a body are directly related to their temperature: hotter objects emit more energy in the infrared spectrum than colder ones.


How do you determine R S isomer?

The only way to determine between R and S isomers is by using a polarimeter and measuring the direction of bending of the light. R isomers will bend it clockwise, and S isomers will bend it counter-clockwise.


Can night vision goggles see through fog?

It depends on whether the night vision goggles are image intensifiers or the type that are sensitive to infra red. Only the infra red type can see warm objects through fog. Image intensifiers will not be able to see through fog at all.
