ATN 2nd Generation Night Vision Devices

ATN offers many differnet generations of night vision equipment for professional and amateur uses like law enforcement, military and wildlife exploration.
ATN'S 2nd Generation is primarily used by law enforcement or for professional applications. This is because the cost of a 2nd Gen. unit is approximately $500.00 to $1000.00 more then a 1st Gen. The main 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.
 ATN's standard 2nd Generation tubes are high-quality with exceptional brightness and resolution. Each tube has a micro channel plate, multi-alkaline photocathode with built-in power supply.
2nd Gen. IIT Features:
* Photo Cathode type: Multi-Alkali
* Resolution from 40 to 45 lp/mm
* Signal-to-Noise Ratio from 12 to 20
