I have little to no clue about these. As far as I know the only nations that field these are Turkey, Britain, and Russia. Why are they not more common? Which ones are the better known brands? In layman's terms how do they work?

I know of Aselsan (Turkish), ATN (American) companies.

Maybe not quite what you are asking but still very interesting in regards to thermal optics...

With that Russian Thermal I have seen something very similar with the Turkish one too, with the cord from the sight to the eye piece. Thanks for the input.
