North Night Vision Technology (NNVT) MX10160 Format Image Intensifier Tube - Generation 2+

This product is regulated under Australian Government DEC (Defence Export Controls), but is able to be exported via Permit. View our FAQ/ Defence Exports Page for more information.

Description:

North Night Vision Technology (NNVT) Image Intensifier Tubes are cost-effective, entry level tubes that offer superb value and great performance in low-lighting conditions. 

These tubes feature extremely clean screens with little to no factory dark spots or artifacts.

Based on Photonis Defence's previous XD4/XR5 technology, NNVT tubes have effectively closed the performance gap in western tubes by acquiring assembly lines and patents from Photonis in late 2010. As a result, even with recent advancements in manufacturing technology, higher end NNVT tubes (NVT5/ NVT7) are observed to exhibit similar performance to modern Photonis Intensifier Tubes (ECHO/4G).

The NNVT MX10160 Format Image Intensifier Tubes all feature standard 2-pin contacts, with Manual Gain tube models also utilizing 3-pin contacts for use in Manual Gain Control Night Vision Housings.

All intensifiers will include its individual spec sheet. Please refer to the menu items below for more information on Tube Specifications. 

North Night Vision Technology (NNVT) - Intensifier Tube Specifications:

IMPORTANT: The below specifications are the average performance charts listed by the manufacturer and do not accurately reflect the exact performance levels of individual tubes, slight variations of specs will present. All intensifiers will include its individual spec sheet.

Handpicking: If you require specific specifications, please add them into your order notes at checkout and we will request the manufacturer to handpick tubes that are as close to your requirements as possible.
