16 mm Image Intensifier Tube

Photonis is the 1st and sole manufacturer in the world to develop a 16mm format intensifier tube. This new standard has enabled the design of modern, lighter and smaller night vision binoculars.

Reducing the load on a soldier is a constant challenge. We can notice a real evolution concerning the size and weight of our image intensifier tubes. We talk about SWaP: Size Weight and Power.

Reduction of SWaP contributes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of armed forces. Night vision devices that are designed around the 16mm IIT offer the tremendous advantage of having the same level of performance as those based upon the 18 mm intensifier tube, but with significantly reduced weight.
