Compact thermal imaging with built-in laser rangefinder
The Axion 2 XG35 LRF is a powerful, pocket-sized thermal monocular engineered for serious observation in total darkness and challenging weather. Designed by Pulsar, it combines a high-resolution XG thermal sensor, fast f/1.0 optics, precision laser rangefinding, and advanced image processing — all housed in a rugged, waterproof magnesium body.
Whether you’re scanning wide areas or identifying distant targets, the Axion 2 XG35 LRF delivers crisp thermal detail, reliable distance measurement, and intuitive operation in a truly portable format.
Highly Sensitive 640×480 Thermal Sensor
At the heart of the Axion 2 XG35 LRF is a 640×480, 12 µm thermal sensor with NETD <40 mK, paired with a smooth 50 Hz refresh rate. This combination provides excellent thermal contrast and fine detail, even in fog, rain, or high humidity.
Detection range up to 1750 m (based on a 1.8 m object)
Clear target separation in adverse conditions
Excellent sensitivity for subtle heat differences
Fast 35mm f/1.0 Germanium Lens
The focusable 35mm f/1.0 germanium objective offers high infrared transmission in the LWIR range, delivering consistently sharp, well-defined images. The fast aperture maximises light capture, improving clarity when observing at long distances or in poor conditions.
Variable Magnification with Wide Field of View
With a base magnification of 2.5× and up to 20× digital zoom, you can tailor your view for wide-area scanning or detailed identification.
Zoom in x2 steps or smoothly
Generous 12.5° × 9.4° field of view at base magnification
Ideal balance between situational awareness and reach

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section covers key information about warranties, shipping, returns, and store opening hours. Find details on manufacturer warranty cover, UK delivery options, how to return an item, and when our team is available to help.
Does it come with a warranty?
All our products are UK stock so come with manufacturers warranty
What happens if I don't like it?
We always want you to be happy with your purchase — so if you’re unsure, please ask us first. We’re always happy to give honest advice before you buy.
If the product arrives and you simply decide it isn’t for you, you can usually return it within the cooling-off period — as long as it’s unused, in perfect condition, and returned with all original packaging and accessories.
Because telescopes and optical equipment are large, delicate and expensive to ship, you’ll need to cover the cost of sending it back, and if we originally subsidised delivery, we may deduct our outbound shipping costs from your refund.
We’re a small specialist business, and unnecessary returns genuinely hurt us — so if you’re unsure at all, please talk to us first. We’d rather help you choose the right item than process a return.
How fast is shipping?
We aim to ship in-stock items as quickly as possible.
Most in-stock orders dispatch within 1–2 working days
Delivery usually takes 1–3 working days after dispatch (UK mainland)
Heavier / oversized items and special orders may take a little longer
You’ll receive tracking details as soon as your order is on its way.
Astronomy equipment often requires specialist packing and trusted couriers — we do this to keep your gear safe, not to slow things down. If you need something urgently, just ask and we’ll do our best.
