Night vision

Night vision is the name given to any piece of technology that permits someone to see in the absence of visible light.

In 2152, Captain Jonathan Archer led a landing party, consisting of Subcommander T'Pol, Lieutenant Malcolm Reed and Ensign Hoshi Sato, down to a rogue planet. Because there was no sun to illuminate it, the planet was eternally dark, forcing the crew members to use nightvision eyepieces.

The Eska also possessed night vision technology in their imaging goggles, which they used when hunting the Dakalan Wraiths on the planet.


 * This is the only appearance of night vision technology in any Star Trek series. However, the final draft script of Extinction referred to the Loque'eque as having "alien night vision".
