The MX-10160A Image Intensifier Tubes are
designed for use in all night vision systems that
use an inverting tube, such as aviator goggles,
ground systems and weapon sights. Typically
it is used in the L-3 M949 Aviator Goggle system
but can also be used in other systems needing
inverted images.
The MX-10160A Gen III 18-mm image intensifier
is completely self-contained with an integral high-
voltage power supply. Equipped with automatic
brightness control (ABC), this power supply
provides constant output image brightness as
light levels increase. It also provides bright-source
protection to guard the tube against exposure
to high levels of light.
These Gen III image intensifier tubes consist of
a high-efficiency GaAs photocathode bonded to
a glass input window, a microchannel plate (MCP),
and a P-43 phosphor screen deposited on an
inverted output window.
The Gen III photocathode is very sensitive to
low-resolution levels of visible and near infrared
light. It also provides very high signal-to-noise
ratio for extended detection ranges in low-light
conditions.
