This optimal tuning of the eyepiece-human eye is extremely important because a successful performance of some military tasks is largely dependent on visual performance of a night vision goggle [24,25]. Therefore, it can be concluded that both listed earlier test standards and specialized literature show clearly the eyepiece diopter importance for a direct imaging technology.…”

This paper presents a detailed review on a present confused situation related to defining and measurement of the eyepiece diopter range of optical/electro-optical devices to be used for a direct observation by human observers. On the basis of this review three precise definitions of a direct view imagers eyepiece diopter are presented. One of these definitions is determined as optimal fit to describe the perception of human observers. Further on, design and measurement uncertainties of diopter meters are discussed and rules of accurate measurements are formulated. Finally, recommendations for the maximum acceptable errors of the diopter scale of eyepieces of classic types of direct view imagers are presented, as well.
