XR5 IIT Series
Auto-Gate Intensifier Tube
The XR5™ image intensifier tube empowers users to detect greater detail during operations across diverse environments. With its integrated Auto-Gated power supply, it ensures superior performance even in dynamic lighting conditions, adapting seamlessly to changing scenarios. This advanced feature enhances image quality, providing clarity during critical transitions from day to night and back again.
Designed for modern operational demands, the XR5™ excels in challenging settings, including military missions in urban terrain where lighting can fluctuate unpredictably. The Auto-Gating function works continuously to optimize performance, delivering consistent and reliable imaging under the most demanding conditions.
- Typical FOM 1600
- Auto-Gate intensifier tube
- Good performances at low light levels
- Operations in different field conditions

P43 Green Phosphor or P45 White Phosphor
The phosphor screen of the IIT converts the electron avalanche from the microchannel plate back into photons, resulting in the green image that has become the signature view in night vision technology.
White phosphor, or P45, provides excellent recognition and has similar decay time properties as the P43 (green) phosphor. In night vision, white phosphor IIT comes from the aviation and special operations world. While there are no « lab » performance differences between P43 & P45, the choice of phosphor remains an operator’s preference.
During trials of soldiers performance under green and white phosphor night vision, no combat effectiveness difference was found. That’s why phosphor color is often a personal preference, the most important criteria being for the operator to have as less eye fatigue as possible.
Image Intensifier Tube | 16MM
We offer a unique version – 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.
