Philips XX1080 1st Generation Image Intensifier

An Assembly Comprising Two Tubes and a Matching EHT PSU

This auction is for a pair of XX1080 1st generation image intensifier tubes mounted on a cast aluminium chassis with a matching EHT PSU.

This assembly has been removed from a night vision binocular device. It comprises TWO XX1080 intensifier tubes with a matching EHT power supply unit. The tubes and PSU are fitted with sockets. The PSU may be used with just one of the tubes if desired.

The Philips XX1080 is a late model 1st generation inverting image intensifier tube with electrostatic focusing. Still used in night vision equipment all over the world, the XX1080 is among the most successful of all 1st-generation tubes. It possesses excellent sensitivity, high gain and a very useful IR capability. Used in conjunction with suitable optics, this tube is capable of very high performance in viewers and cameras. Possible uses will include security/surveillance, wildlife and astronomy. Resolution up to approximately the equivalent of 1 megapixel is achievable.

These tubes provide operation in near darkness, requiring little or no artificial illumination. A very effective semi-covert surveillance performance is achieved using low-level IR illumination.

Matching (not included) objective lenses and eyepieces are available, please see our other items.
