MX10160 White Phosphor NVT4 FOM1400

The MX10160 is a type of night vision intensifier tube designed for night vision applications. It converts low-light images into visible light, allowing users to see in dark conditions. Here’s a brief introduction to its characteristics and features:

Key Features:

1. High Sensitivity: The MX10160 is designed to operate in very low light conditions, making it suitable for a variety of nighttime applications, including military, law enforcement, and surveillance.
2. Resolution: The tube typically offers good resolution, enabling the user to see detailed images in low-light environments.
3. Gain: The MX10160 provides high gain, which enhances the brightness of the image produced. This is crucial for applications where every bit of light is essential.
4. Phosphor Screen: The output image is displayed on a phosphor screen, which converts the intensifier’s output into visible light. Different phosphor (white or green) materials can be used to produce various colors of output.
5. Durability: These tubes are built to withstand harsh conditions, making them suitable for tactical and rugged uses.
6. Applications: Common applications include military night vision goggles, surveillance cameras, and various optical devices that require enhanced vision in low-light situations.

Operation Principle:

The MX10160 works by capturing ambient light and amplifying it through a process involving a photocathode, microchannel plate, and phosphor screen. The photocathode converts incoming photons into electrons, which are then accelerated and amplified by the microchannel plate before striking the phosphor screen to create a visible image.

Conclusion:

Overall, the MX10160 image intensifier tube is a key component in modern night vision systems, providing enhanced visibility in darkness and enabling users to perform tasks that would otherwise be challenging or impossible without sufficient light. This tube can be used on our LD-NVM4 night vision monocular and LD-NVG31 night vision goggles.
