A powerful, high-performance monocular, the
MiNi-14 was developed as an alternative to the US Military issue AN/PVS-14.
Submersible, extremely light weight, and readily adaptable for hand, weapon or
headgear/helmet use, the MiNi-14 uses a single high-performance Gen 2+ or
state-of-the-art Gen 3 tube to provide crisp, high resolution images in the
darkest conditions. Capable of operating in depths of over 60 feet, using a
single AA or CR123 battery and incorporating Mil Spec headgear and a weapon
mount as its standard accessories, the MiNi-14 is a robust, powerful performer
for use in confined as well as open spaces.
Included in the MiNi-14 Mono Goggle package is a fully adjustable, semi-rigged,
padded, military headgear allowing scope rotation between eyes, and extended eye
relief as well as a weapon mount.
A large selection of optional accessories make the MiNi-14 extremely versatile.
Detection ranges can be increased by adding to the 1x objective high-resolution
3x or 5x Mil Spec A-focal lenses. To illuminate distant objects, several
external IR Illuminators are available or an IR Spot/Flood Lens can fit over the
existing IR source allowing the user to focus and increase the range of the
intensified IR beam. A camera/camcorder adaptor attaches the MiNi-14 to 35 mm
SLR cameras and camcorders for nighttime use. For azimuth, a magnetic compass
can be attached to the device to superimpose compass headings on the night
vision image. Installed on the (included) Mil Spec weapon mount, the MiNi-14
adds night vision capabilities to daytime holosights like EoTech or Aimpoint.
The Night Optics USA, Inc. proprietary (patent pending) Day/Night Adaptor
quickly transforms a daytime riflescope into a 24-hour system without loss of
weapon zero by allowing quick connection of a MiNi-14 to the eye-piece of
daytime optics. Autogating of
image intensifier tubes consists of automatically regulating voltages to the
tube’s microchannel plate to optimize brightness and protect the tube in
significantly changing light conditions. When it was discovered that the
development of filmless image intensifier tubes (provisionally termed “Gen 4”)
was not practical, tube manufacturers developed very thin-film ion barriers to
protect the photocathode while increasing tube performance.
These thin-film tubes combined with autogated
power supplies provide the current state of the art of image intensification
technology. In 2001 the US Army declared that the term “Gen 4” would no longer
apply to filmless tube technology, resulting in the US military’s current use of
“thin-film, autogated” image intensification tubes as the standard for its night
vision devices. | |
