ATN Night Storm

ATN Night Storm
The ATN Night Storm Series is one of the most popular series. This series is waterproof and has a 3.5x magnification. The optics are of exceptional quality: ATN use the best quality glass for its front lenses, consisting of at least six elements. All optics are multilayer-coated and ensure maximum light output. The ATN Night Storm is available in three models:

• Night Storm Generation 2 + with resolution 40-45 lp/mm
• Night Storm Generation 2 + with resolution 40-50 lp/mm
• Night Storm Generation CGT with resolution 45-54lp/mm

Below you will find more information about the differences between the various generations.

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

Infrared light
An additional feature of this night vision is the infrared light or beam; when entering 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.

Ergonomic design
The viewer is ergonomically designed and therefore fits perfectly in your hand. It has incisions to fit your right hand and fingers and due to its light weight and compact design, it takes no effort to hold the viewer for a longer time.

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. Exciting, right? Another accessory is the IR-450B5: 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.

Technology
ATN are one of the largest manufacturers of night vision goggles worldwide 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 generation 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 a low 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 brighter image. But 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 that blocks ions, considerably increasing the lifetime of the image intensifier tube.
