MV-14 Ultra Generation 3 Night Vision Mini Monocular
Using a high performance ITT Generation 3, 64 lp/mm (Min) PINNACLE® thin-filmed and auto-gated image tube, the U.S. Military battle-proven MV-14P PINNACLE® mini-monocular provides exceptional quality image resolution under varying light conditions. The innovative mil-spec housing is extremely lightweight, weighing only 9.2 oz and can be submerged to depths up to 66 feet. The MV-14P operates using either one AA or one 3V lithium battery and includes a built in IR Illuminator for increased image clarity in low light situations. Standard accessories including a head mount assembly and a weapons mount make the versatile MV-14P required gear for all public safety and military applications.
Autogating of image intensifier tubes consists of automatically regulating voltages to the tube’s microchannel plate to optimize brightness and protect the tube in significantly changing light conditions. When it was discovered that the development of filmless image intensifier tubes (provisionally termed “Gen 4”) was not practical, tube manufacturers developed very thin-film ion barriers to protect the photocathode while increasing tube performance.
These thin-film tubes combined with autogated power supplies provide the current state of the art of image intensification technology. In 2001 the US Army declared that the term “Gen 4” would no longer apply to filmless tube technology, resulting in the US military’s current use of “thin-film, autogated” image intensification tubes as the standard for its night vision devices.
