Product Overview: NNVT MX10130 (GFX8IID) Gen 2 Image Intensifier Tube
Engineered for Classic System Retrofitting & Uncompromised Reliability
The NNVT MX10130 (GFX8IID) is a robust, high-performance 18mm Gen 2 image intensifier tube specifically engineered as a direct drop-in replacement and upgrade solution for legacy and classic night vision systems—most notably the AN/PVS-7 series goggles and compatible specialized weapon sights.
Combining proven electro-optical architectures with NNVT’s advanced micro-channel plate (MCP) manufacturing techniques, this tube breathes new life into older hardware while meeting the rigorous performance demands of modern tactical and field deployments.
Key Technical Highlights:
Perfect System Compatibility: Designed precisely to match standard MX10130 / PVS-7 form factors, ensuring a drop-in fit without requiring complex housing or circuit modifications.
Exceptional Low-Light Performance:
Delivers high Figure of Merit (FOM) and robust Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) options.
Enhanced photocathode sensitivity for superior photon capture under starlight and overcast night conditions.
Phosphor Screen Options: Available in both high-efficiency P43 (Green Phosphor) for classic high-contrast viewing and White Phosphor (P45) variants for modern grayscale visual clarity, reduced eye strain, and enhanced target recognition.
Ruggedized Field Durability: Built to withstand severe mechanical shock, recoil, and broad operational temperature ranges, maintaining optical integrity in harsh operational environments.
Consistent Batch Quality: Rigorously factory-tested for spot defects, brightness uniformity, and EBI (Equivalent Background Illumination) to ensure reliable deployment for law enforcement, heritage system maintenance, and commercial integrators.
Target Applications:
Retrofitting, repair, and performance upgrading of legacy AN/PVS-7 night vision goggles
Classic specialized weapon sights and observation devices requiring MX10130 footprint compatibility
Cost-effective system maintenance for defense contractors, security agencies, and institutional distributors
