DTD PNVG-18
DTD PNVG-18
Four tubes instead of two, which opens the view from a narrow circle to something close to how you actually see. Where a standard goggle gives you 40 degrees, this gives you 100.
The difference shows the moment you move. Cluttered ground, doorways, scanning wide country: the things that normally require you to turn your head are simply there in your peripheral vision. Each unit is collimated and tested as a matched set, so the four images meet cleanly.
This is the most device we sell, and worth looking through before you commit. Villmergen, by appointment.

Questions before you buy
Green (P22) or green (P43)?
Both are green, and the difference is the chemistry of the phosphor screen, which sets the tone of the image and how quickly it decays. P22 is the deeper, traditional night vision green with longer persistence, which some people read as a smoother image. P43 is a lighter, slightly yellow-green tone with a narrower output spectrum and a faster decay, so fast movement smears less. Neither is better; it is preference, and the tube behind the screen determines actual performance. Most of our customers choose white (P45), which renders the scene in greyscale and is easier to read over long sessions, so we stock green in the entry tube only. If you want green on a higher tube, ask us and we will source it.
Which tube option should I choose?
FOM is signal-to-noise ratio multiplied by resolution. It ranks tubes on paper, but it does not describe noise behaviour, halo or edge sharpness. The higher option buys a cleaner image in less light. On the PNVG-18 the two options are GEN2+ NVT5 FOM1600+ AG and GEN2+ NVT7 FOM2000+ AG, both with white (P45) phosphor.
What does autogating do?
An autogated tube switches its voltage automatically to protect itself and hold contrast when bright light enters the scene, street lamps included. Both options listed here, GEN2+ NVT5 FOM1600+ AG and GEN2+ NVT7 FOM2000+ AG, are autogated.
Why do matched tubes matter on a four-tube goggle?
The panorama is three circular images merged into one, and any difference in brightness or tone between tubes shows up where they meet. Tubes are hand-picked as matched sets, and the assembled goggle is collimated on a certified Hoffman Engineering ANV-126A before dispatch. A data sheet for each of the four tubes ships inside the box.
What is in the box?
The combo set includes the housing kit with lenses, a hard carrying case, the Universal Strobe Battery Pack with cable, four day filter caps and the LWNVM helmet mount.
Do I need an End User Certificate?
Complete devices and image intensifier tubes need a signed End User Certificate for delivery outside Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Ask us before ordering if you are unsure how it applies to you.
Export and delivery
Export and delivery
Night vision and thermal devices ship to Switzerland, Liechtenstein and EU/Schengen countries only. Deliveries outside Switzerland and Liechtenstein require a signed End User Certificate: after payment we send you the certificate, you sign and return it, we complete Swiss export clearance, and your device is dispatched with tracking. If clearance cannot be obtained for your country, the order is refunded in full. Spare parts and accessories are not controlled goods: they ship without a certificate. Collection at the Villmergen showroom, by appointment, is free of charge.
