Photonis NT940 / NT1431 MX-10160 tube

The Photonis MX-10160 is a state-of-the-art 3-pin image intensifier tube designed for manual gain control, providing precise brightness adjustment for demanding night vision applications. Engineered for use in binocular systems such as the NT1431 BNVD and other specialized configurations, this tube delivers exceptional low-light performance, high resolution, and minimal image noise.

Available in Echo+, 4G, and 4G+ grades, the MX-10160 caters to a wide range of operational requirements. The Echo variant provides solid Gen 2+ performance with FOM values between 1800–2200, ideal for hunting, security, and advanced civilian users. Echo+ offers a higher signal-to-noise ratio and enhanced clarity with FOM above 2200, tailored for law enforcement, aviation, and professional civilian applications. The 4G variant provides MIL-SPEC quality with excellent SNR and low-light performance for military and government users, while the 4G+ represents the pinnacle of high-end tactical performance, delivering minimal image distortion and the clearest visual output for elite special operations.

Key performance features include manual brightness control, autogating for dynamic light conditions, robust signal-to-noise ratio, and compatibility with modern binocular night vision systems. Installation requires careful attention to load, resistance, and electronics compatibility to ensure proper operation and prevent damage.

Photonis remains a global leader in image intensifier technology, offering rigorous quality control and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure peak performance under extreme conditions. Due to the sensitive and highly specialized nature of these components, returns or exchanges are not accepted.
