gen2+ 18mm image intensifier tube night vision
OUTLOOK Gen 2+18mm image intensifier tube night vision is MX10160 tube. The resolution of this gen2 image intensifier tube is 55-64, the signal-to-noise ratio is above 20, the sensitivity is greater than 650, and the factor of quality (FOM) is between 1200-1600. The Fom number allows a quick estimate of the general performance level of the tube. Each tube will come with a space sheet stating the characteristics of the tube and its compliance with the advertised specifications.

Performance characteristics
Improved sensitivity
Compared with the first-generation 18mm image intensifier, the sensitivity of the second-generation gen2 image intensifier tube has been significantly improved. OUTLOOK gen2 image intensifier tube can detect weaker light signals, which makes it more effective to convert weak light into observable image signals under low-light conditions, such as at night, in a dim room or in a smoky environment. For example, in the moonlight or in an environment with only weak starlight, the second-generation micro-light tube can capture the target image more clearly than the first-generation.
Improved resolution
OUTLOOK gen2 image intensifier tube has a higher resolution. This gen2 image intensifier tube can present a clearer and more detailed target image. This is due to its improved photocathode material and multiplier structure design, which can better maintain the spatial information of the image during the transmission and multiplication of electrons, reduce the blur and distortion of the image, and distinguish more details when observing the target, such as the outline and texture of the distant target.
Enhanced anti-interference ability
Better performance in anti-interference. The second-generation 18mm image intensifier reduces the interference of some external factors on imaging, such as the interference of stray light, by optimizing the internal structure and adopting new technical means. This makes the imaging purer and improves the ability to identify the target.

Application fields
Military field
It is widely used in military night vision equipment, such as night vision goggles, observation and aiming devices in individual combat systems, etc. Soldiers can use the second-generation micro-light tubes in the equipment to conduct reconnaissance and monitor enemy actions at night, improve their combat effectiveness and safety, and obtain target information without exposing their own light sources.
Security monitoring
For some high-end security monitoring systems, especially in areas that require nighttime monitoring, such as industrial parks, border areas, airport runways, etc., the second-generation micro-light tube can be used in monitoring equipment. It can provide clear video images under low-light conditions, which helps to detect abnormal situations in time and give early warnings.
Aerospace
It is also used in some observation equipment in the aerospace field. For example, in the night observation system of aircraft or satellites, the second-generation micro-light tube can help obtain image information of the earth's surface or other celestial bodies under low-light conditions, and assist in scientific research, topographic mapping and other tasks.
