PVS-7 Night Vision Goggle Gen. 3P PINNACLE®
The PVS-7 (PVS-7B/D type) is the standard issue goggle type supplied to the U.S. Military and its allies. Equipped with a factory new, high-performance, ITT Generation 3 PINNACLE® image intensifier tube, the PVS-7 Gen 3 PINNACLE® night vision goggle is designed for the most demanding of night time applications. Battle-proven technology includes Automatic Brightness Control (ABC) which automatically adjusts the brightness of the image tube to achieve the highest quality image resolution under varying light conditions as well as a built-in infra-red illuminator which allows the user to operate under zero light conditions. Lightweight and versatile, the PVS-7 Gen 3 PINNACLE® night vision goggle can be hand-held, head-mounted, and helmet-mounted. Standard accessories and System Data Sheet included.

Key Product Features:
- ITT PINNACLE® Image Intensifier Tube - Thin-Filmed/Auto-gated
High resolution 64 lp/mm (Min), high gain, and high photoresponse in visible and near infrared. 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.
