Image Intensification Night Vison
Generation 2 – The difference between a 1st and a 2nd generation unit is the addition of a micro-channel plate, commonly referred to as a MCP. The MCP works as an electron amplifier and is placed directly behind the photocathode. The MCP consists of millions of short parallel glass tubes. When the electrons pass through these short tubes, thousands more electrons are released. This extra process allows 2nd generation units to amplify the light many more times then 1st generation giving you a brighter and sharper image.
Generation 3 – By adding a sensitive chemical, gallium arsenide to the photocathode a brighter and sharper image has been achieved over 2nd generation units. An ion barrier film was also added to increase tube life. 3rd Gen. provides the user with good to excellent low light performance.
White Phosphor(WPT) vs Green Phosphor – Image intensifier tubes that produce a green image use a P43 green phosphor screen output. This green-yellow image is what most people recognize in regard to Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision Systems. Instead of green P43 phosphor screen output, White Phosphor tubes use a P45 phosphor screen, which yields a blue-white color resulting in a black and white image.

- MSRP : $1,329
The Advanced Target Pointer/Illuminator/Aiming Laser – Civilian Legal (ATPIAL-C) is small, lightweight and easy to use. The aiming system has integrated infrared and visible aiming lasers and an infrared illuminator. The ATPIAL (AN/PEQ-15) has been battle-tested for use on small arms and crew-served weapons. This device is the U.S. Armed Forces standard for night direct-fire aiming and illumination.Some models are restricted for use by law enforcement and military organizations. Contact EOTech at 888-368-4656 or email for more information.The ATP-000-A18Vis is a visible only model that was created to support tactical training requirements for law enforcement and military organizations.

Here are some images we recently took to educate customers wanting to helmet mount the IR Patrol. These pictures explain the differences in the Wilcox G11 and G24.
Running Dual PVS-14s – Wilcox Dual PVS-14 Bridge Vs Integrated Components D-14 Dual Bridge
We have been seeing a lot of interest in the Wilcox dual bridge and the Integrated Components D-14. Here are a couple pics that explain the difference in size and function. Feel free to ask questions.
PVS-14 vs Thermal Weapon Sight for Hog Hunting
If you are trying to decide on a PVS-14 or a thermal imaging weapon sight for hog hunting, this video is for you.
We put this video together to answer common questions about Generation 3 – PVS-14s for night hunting and illustrate some of the technology differences between gen 3 and thermal. Another good piece of information in this video is the important role of a magnified optic vs a 1X optic for night hunting. These hogs were all under 50 yards, with some under 30 yards and as you can see in the video there is a crucial difference in positive ID and usable range for a 1X vs 2.5X-20X(digital zoom) optic.
The PVS-14 was mounted simply for video purposes, so you wont see the reticle or a laser. It was a dark night when this video was captured with only 18% illumination from moonlight. We decided to not use an IR illuminator or a laser for this video to truly show the differences in technologies. Next time we hunt a dark night we will use an IR illuminator and a laser and throw a 3X magnifier on the PVS-14 to show how much better of an image you can get with IR Illumination and magnification. Hope ya’ll enjoy the video.
