- "Are they heavy?"
"Yeah."
"Then they're expensive, put 'em back." - —Donald Gennaro and Tim Murphy(src)
The night vision goggles were a pair of goggles that enabled users to see more accurately in a nocturnal environment. They featured sensitive CCD lenses and a focus button on the part near the user's ear. They were apparently heavy for a child.
The night vision goggles are objects that appear in the Michael Crichton novel Jurassic Park and the 1993 film of the same name. They are military-grade night vision goggles that are used by Tim Murphy in the film; he had found them in the tour vehicle that he, his sister Lex Murphy and InGen lawyer Donald Gennaro were in as they were stuck near the Tyrannosaur Paddock.
History[]
Jurassic Park[]
One pair was located in a box tucked under one of the seats of the tour vehicle that housed Donald Gennaro and John Hammond's grandchildren , Lex and Tim Murphy. Tim put them on to scare his big sister. Gennaro ordered him to put them back. However, he used them in the back of the vehicle and was able to see what the other vehicle, where Grant and Malcolm were, looked like in night vision.
However, when he heard threatening footsteps shaking the car, Tim used the goggles again to look towards the Tyrannosaur Paddock to see if anything had moved. He then noticed that the goat had disappeared. When he removed his glasses, he spotted one of the Tyrannosaurus rex 's front legs touching the electric fence. It's likely that the pair was destroyed when the T. rex overturned the car in which Tim was trapped before ejecting it into the trees.
Jurassic World[]
In the Jurassic World Incident, Zach Mitchell and his brother Gray Mitchell are left to their own devices in the wilderness. On their way, they come across an old garage housing an old Jeep Wrangler and another pair of night-vision binoculars. While Gray is examining it, he unknowingly activates the “night vision” mode.
Trivia[]
- The various supporting glasses created for the movie were built from the same basic elements. The lenses were taken from Konica Aiborg cameras. They were unique in that they had a built-in lens cap that retracted into the lens as it extended, adding an extra level of movement to the prop for the movie. The headgear used was Huntsman's K117, which was used on their welding helmets.
