In low-light observation, image intensifier tubes are the key to seeing clearly in darkness. At MHNV, decades of refinement have enabled us to offer reliable, high-performance solutions for professionals and enthusiasts alike. Let’s uncover the science behind these tubes and why MHNV is a leader in this field.
The process of converting faint ambient light into visible images unfolds in three stages. First, the photocathode layer, featuring advanced gallium arsenide (GaAs) in our Gen 3 tubes, detects even the dimmest light and converts it into electrons. This material captures a broad spectrum, including near-infrared wavelengths, ensuring no detail is overlooked in challenging conditions.Next, the electrons enter the microchannel plate (MCP), a honeycomb structure with millions of channels. As they travel through, each electron triggers a cascade of secondary electrons, amplifying the signal over 20,000 times. MHNV’s proprietary MCP design minimizes noise, maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio (≥23 dB) for sharp, grain-free images.
Finally, the amplified electrons strike the phosphor screen, emitting visible light proportional to their intensity. Our double-coated phosphor screens boost resolution (>64 lp/mm) and light output, delivering natural, high-contrast views across your field of vision.
Trusted by military, law enforcement, and outdoor experts, MHNV tubes simplify low-light visibility. With features like auto-gating and manual gain controls, they adapt to changing conditions. Built for future compatibility, they integrate with emerging technologies, safeguarding your investment.
