1ST GENERATION1ST GENERATION

1st generation is currently the most popular type of night

vision in the world. Utilizing the basic principles describedearlier, a 1st generation unit will amplify the existing lightseveral thousand times letting you clearly see in the dark.These units provide a bright and sharp image at a low cost,which is perfect, whether you are boating, observingwildlife, or providing security for your home. You may notice

the following when you are looking through a 1st Gen. unit.

A slight high-pitched whine when the unit is on.

The image you see may be slightly blurry around theedges. This is known as Geometric Distortion.

When you turn a 1st Gen. unit off it may glow green forsome time.

These are inherent characteristics of a 1st Gen. unit andare normal.

2ND GENERATION2ND GENERATION

is primarily used by law enforcement or for professional applications.This is because the cost of a 2nd Gen. unit is approximately $500.00 to$1000.00 more then a 1st Gen. The main difference between a 1st anda 2nd generation unit is the addition of a micro-channel plate,commonly referred to as a MCP. The MCP works as an electronamplifier and is placed directly behind the photocathode. The MCPconsists of millions of short parallel glass tubes. When the electrons

pass through these short tubes, thousands more electrons arereleased. This extra process allows 2nd generation units to amplify thelight many more times then 1st generation giving you a brighter andsharper image.

3RD GENERATION3RD GENERATION

Our standard 3rd generation image intensifier tubes are of the highestquality. They have a micro channel plate, GaAs photocathode, and acompletely self-contained integral high-voltage power supply. These3rd Generation tubes provide a combined increase in resolution, signalto noise and photosensitivity over tubes with a multi-alkaliphotocathode. Generation 3 is the standard for the USA military

4TH GENERATION4TH GENERATIONGated/Filmless technology represents the biggest technological

breakthrough in image intensification of the past 10 years. By removingthe ion barrier film and Gating the system Gen 4 demonstratessubstantial increases in target detection range and resolution,particularly at extremely low light levels.

The use of film less technology and auto-gated power supply in 4thgeneration image intensifiers result in:

Up to 100% improvement in photo response.

Superb performance in extremely low light level (better S/N and EBI).

At least triple high light level resolution (a minimum of 36 lp/mm compared to 12lp/mm).
