ATN MO-4 first generation

ATN MO-4 first generation
The ATN MO-4 first generation is waterproof and has a 3x magnification. The lenses of the viewer are interchangeable so you can easily select your preferred magnification. The optics are of exceptional quality: ATN uses the best quality glass for its front lenses, consisting of at least six elements. All optics are multilayer-coated and ensure maximum light output.

Smart technology
This ATN Night viewer featuresSmart technology,which, among other things, means that the viewer automatically measures the distance and focuses upon it. It has an easy-to-use digital control panel and the viewer automatically switches off when not in use anymore. As noted above, the Smart scopes have a digital control panel which operates the IR lamp, the power supply and the rangefinder.

Electron Tube
The main element of night viewers is the Image Intensifier Tube (electron tube). The available light is collected and amplified through an electronic and physical process in this electron tube. ATN is build their own power supply for the tubes. The materials used for the tube meet the highest criteria. Amazingly, ATN night viewers perform under virtually all weather conditions.

Infrared light
An additional feature of the ATN MO-4 1 (first generation) night vision is the infrared light or beam; should you enter a completely dark room where there is absolutely no ambient light, you can enable this built-in beamer. This beam illuminates the room with IR light, the night vision catches this back and puts it into an image.

Accessories

• The (optional) Camera Adapter allows the residual light amplifier to be connected to your digital camera and you can even shoot in the dark. Terribly exciting, right?
• Another accessory that comes with the ATN MO-4 first generation is the IR-450: this external IR beam can be easily mounted to the night vision. Your vision will thus be two to three times better in total darkness.
• This convenient doubler increases the image twofold. The doubler can be connected to the front of the night vision goggles in no time: very handy when spotting nocturnal animals.
  
  

Technology
ATN are one of the largest manufacturers of night vision goggles in the world and they offer a wide range of goggles, monoculars, binoculars and rifle scopes. With their unique light amplifiers and infrared technology ATN have brought three generations of night vision goggles on the market, and each one uses a unique type of image intensifier tube:

• The first generationis currently the most popular type. It reinforces the incoming light a few thousand times so you can observe clearly in the dark. These viewers yield a clear and sharp image at an affordable price.
  
• The second generationis more often used for professional purposes. The big difference with the first generation is the addition of a micro-channel plate (MPC) which serves as an electron amplifier resulting in a much brighter image. However, the price of these night vision goggles is also many times higher than that of the first generation.
  
• The CGT Generationis even more advanced than the second generation tubes. These tubes are more sensitive and have a higher resolution. These features deliver an exceptionally sharp image with exceptional clarity.
  
• The third generationThese night-vision goggles uniquely combine an extra light sensitive layer of gallium arsenide with a layer blocking ions, considerably increasing the lifetime of the image intensifier tube.
