Explore the Full Range of Elbit Gen 3 Image Intensifier Tubes – From Value to Elite Clarity

Elbit Systems is one of the premier U.S. manufacturers of Generation 3 image intensifier tubes, trusted across defense, commercial, and professional night vision applications. Each Elbit tube is built with industry-leading components and quality control, delivering exceptional low-light amplification, high resolution, and extended operational life.

This collection offers a full spectrum of performance grades, allowing you to choose the right tube based on mission needs, budget, and performance requirements. Whether you’re building a budget-friendly monocular for recreational use or assembling a premium dual-tube system for professional applications, there’s an Elbit grade to match.

Elbit Grade Breakdown:

• XLSH (Extreme Low Spec Hold):
  Entry-grade Gen 3 tubes with functional performance but visible imperfections. Ideal for first-time users or budget builds where value is key.

• SLH (Spec Low Hold):
  A step up from XLSH with cleaner images and fewer defects. A strong choice for users wanting reliable Gen 3 clarity without top-tier pricing.

• PH (Performance Hold):
  Balanced mid-grade tubes that often originate from contract overruns. Clean imagery, strong performance specs, and minimal blemishes make these a favorite for serious recreational and professional users alike.

• YH / VH (Aviation Grade):
  High-end tubes selected for exceptional clarity and minimal visual imperfections. Built to meet aviation spot spec standards, these are ideal for precision applications requiring an unobstructed field of view.

• M-Series (M22 / M23 / M24):
  Elbit’s highest commercial-grade tubes, produced to meet strict specification requirements. M22 tubes are just below full qualification; M23 tubes meet or exceed the most demanding spec thresholds. Best suited for premium systems where performance consistency is critical. M24 is the highest qualified of the Elbit ITT’s and are used in the flagship F5032 (PVS-31D).

Key Features Across All Grades:

• Generation 3, U.S.-manufactured intensifiers

• High resolution (typically 64–81 lp/mm) Can be higher. 

• Extended operational life of 10,000 minimum hours

• Available in green or white phosphor variants

Whether you’re sourcing for a basic helmet rig, a handheld observation device, or a high-spec goggle system, Elbit’s lineup offers scalable performance, unmatched reliability, and a proven track record in the field.
