      The image intensifier tube is the driving force of every night vision device, converting minimal ambient light into bright, detailed images. Whether you’re heading out on a mission-critical operation or exploring the wilderness after dark, the quality of your intensifier tube determines how clearly you’ll see — and how effectively you can act.

      We carefully select and offer premium tubes from leading manufacturers to ensure you always receive reliable, high-performance solutions. Our selection spans both Gen2+ and Gen3 technologies, offering everything from more budget-friendly options to high-FOM (Figure of Merit) performers. Every tube in our lineup is carefully chosen to deliver the visibility and reliability you need when operating at night.

      Trusted Technology

      We proudly offer intensifier tubes from some of the most reputable manufacturers in the night vision industry. 

      NNVT (North Night Vision Technologies)

      Specializing in high-performance intensifier tubes, NNVT is known for its advanced phosphor technology. Their offerings include white phosphor (WP) and green phosphor (GP) tubes, with various FOM ratings, catering to both professional and recreational users.

      L3 Harris

      Renowned for their cutting-edge Gen3 intensifier tubes, L3 tubes deliver unmatched clarity, resolution, and low-light performance. These domestically produced tubes are often the choice of professionals demanding the highest level of reliability and image quality.

      Elbit Systems

      Known for their durable construction and precision engineering, Elbit tubes offer outstanding longevity and image clarity. With FOM ratings often exceeding 2000, they provide superior detail recognition, making them ideal for high-stakes tactical operations and challenging environments.

      Precision and Adaptability

      Intensifier tubes offer more than visibility. They provide the tools you need for any task. Advanced features like manual gain control and white phosphor imaging improve usability and effectiveness:

      Whatever your needs, intensifier tubes provide the clarity and reliability you need to get the most from your night vision device.

      Understanding FOM (Figure of Merit)

      FOM is a crucial performance metric for intensifier tubes, combining resolution (lp/mm) with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In practical terms, a higher FOM:

      Increases Image Clarity

      You’ll see more detail with fewer artifacts, helping you identify targets or navigate terrain more effectively.

      Improves Low-Light Performance

      High FOM tubes amplify minimal ambient light more efficiently, ensuring visibility when conditions are at their darkest.

      Enhances Overall Reliability

      Better performance across varying environments means your intensifier tube stays reliable whether you’re downtown or off-grid.

      At AEON TAC, we offer FOM tiers ranging from moderate (e.g., 1600) up to advanced levels exceeding 2200. This variety allows you to match your budget and mission requirements with the precise FOM tier you need. Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or equipping a new device, your night vision will excel in real-world conditions.
