HAND SELECT PROCESS
Our hand select option allows you to choose the exact image intensifier tube before it is built into your system. This gives you visibility into available tubes so you can prioritize factors such as FOM, EBI, halo, or an overall balance of specifications. To use this option, select “yes” from the hand select dropdown and a Steele Industries representative will reach out to review current tube availability and help you select the best option for your needs. If hand select is not selected, your system will be built using a tube that meets or exceeds the minimum performance requirements for that product. This option is ideal for customers who want a faster, more streamlined process or are not concerned with small variations between tubes.

TUBE MODELS
Our Steele Industries PVS-14R Monocular is offered in various image intensifier options:
ELBIT COMM-SPEC THIN FILMED WHITE PHOSPHOR
- Commercial Spec Image Intensifier
- Auto-Gated
- Thin-Filmed Technology
The commercial spec Elbit option is great for those who are on a tighter budget or simply do not want to drop the additional money required for a mil-spec tube. This option will still give you Gen 3 performance which is sure to impress! This option will give a MINIMUM FOM of 1,536 but in many cases exceeds this value.
ELBIT MIL-SPEC THIN FILMED WHITE PHOSPHOR
- Mil-Spec Image Intensifier
- Auto-Gated
- Thin-Filmed Technology
The mil-spec Elbit options benefit from stricter requirements on spots allowed, specs, and more. These options are great for those that desire mil-spec performance but still wish to take advantage of the savings associated with Elbit image intensifiers. This option will give a MINIMUM FOM of 2,000 but in many cases exceeds this value.
L3 UNFILMED WHITE PHOSPHOR
- Unfilmed Technology
- Aviation Spot Tolerances
- Auto-Gated
The L3Harris tubes are held to an aviation spot tolerance which is the strictest available. On top of that, they are held to military spec requirements to ensure each tube conforms to a variety of performance metrics. For those that desire to experience the advantage associated with unfilmed technology, it is now possible at various budgets levels thanks to our multiple minimum FOM options. Whether you’re on a tighter budget that lends itself to a 1,500 minimum FOM, a higher end budget that affords you the opportunity to acquire a 2,400+ FOM tube, or somewhere in between, there is an option for you.
This device takes advantage of the manual gain capability of MX-11769 format tubes, allowing the user to manually adjust the device’s gain level. Please note that manual gain control does NOT take the place of automatic brightness control (ABC) which is present in all image tubes that we sell and regulates the image brightness without user input. These features work in conjunction to give the user the best image possible.
