#Liemke

A few years ago, Liemke Thermal Optics became a part of the Blaser Group. Liemke have been active in the market for thermal imaging technology since 2008, and for ten years they’ve been developing their own products and solutions. It’s now time for the introduction of the German-made Keiler 25.1 Thermal Monocular, which features a thermal sensor with 384×288 pixel resolution and an OLED display with 1024×768 pixel resolution. The base magnification is 2.4x, with a digital zoom up to 10x. There are five color modes and the unit is waterproof according to IP67. All this for an MSRP of $2,777.

Hunting enthusiasts can now upgrade their gear with the latest in thermal technology thanks to Liemke’s newest line of premium thermal optics, the Luchs-1 and Luchs-2. Made in Wetzlar, Germany, these devices offer high-definition thermal imaging and versatile use as a handheld monocular or attachment to any daytime riflescope. With whisper-quiet calibration, rapid refresh rates, and easy operation, the Luchs line incorporates the latest in thermal technology to provide hunters with detailed and high-contrast images of their prey.

Last year Blaser Group announced the acquisition of  Liemke Thermal Optics. This means that Liemke joins brands like Mauser, J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Rigby, Minox as well as the Blaser Group Wetzlar GmbH. Liemke may not be so well known in the USA, but they have been active in the market for thermal imaging technology since 2008. Since 2014, they have been developing their own products and solutions. Their Keiler 13 Pro and Keiler 35 thermal monoculars are now available in the United States for the first time.

Blaser Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the hunting and outdoor industry. The group owns brands like Mauser, J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Rigby, Minox as well as the company Blaser Group Wetzlar GmbH. With the recently published press release, they announced the acquisition of  Liemke Thermal Optics.

Clip-on Thermal Sights seems to be the new black, and everyone wants to have their piece of the market suddenly. Blaser GmbH from Germany is no different, and their thermal clip-on solution comes with the help from Liemke, also from Germany. They have developed a mount for the Blaser 1–7×28 iC riflescope, which in itself is a very nice product. I had the pleasure to look through it recently and was very impressed.
