Optics
Commercial Grade: Our commercial specification optics, used in all our starter kits, are Singaporean-made and compatible with all standard PVS-14 threaded accessories. These lenses do not meet the same MIL-PRF-A3256342A standard as Noctis/Fuji lenses but deliver similar performance across the board. They may produce a slightly less contrast-heavy image but offer an excellent performance-to-price ratio, providing a clear and sharp image that lets the image intensifier’s resolution speak for itself.
Noctis Technologies: The Noctis Tech/Fuji PVS-14 optics are the gold standard for balanced night vision optics in the modern market. Compatible with practically any current or upcoming goggle or monocular, these lenses deliver outstanding light transmission, exceed MIL-PRF-A3256342A standards, and provide a razor-sharp image while minimizing light flare and distortion. These are the lenses with the deep blue hue we all know and recognize.
RPO NVD NextGen+3.0: The Rochester Precision Optics (RPO) NVD NextGen Eyepiece, paired with the RPO 3.0 Lightweight Objective, is the latest and greatest option for anyone looking to step into a premium lightweight optic setup. The NextGen Eyepiece features a wider output lens, providing longer eye relief and a larger eyebox—giving the user more freedom to maintain a clear image while moving or using a panning bridge. This combination delivers an average 30% weight savings in the lens system itself.
Image Intensifier
The image intensifier tubes used in all our systems feature autogating and come in green or white phospore with different specifications and price ranges, allowing anyone to customize their device to their needs. For detailed information and comparisons between our offered image intensifier tubes, please consult our tube guide or contact us with your specific questions.
