FYI, When cleaning your lenses do not use microfiber. Only use clean lens cloth along with denatured isopropyl alcohol. Also, do not clean your objective or ocular lenses with a cloth unless absolutely necessary because both interior lens surfaces have metal substrate coatings which can be scratched if not cleaned properly. When cleaning lenses he best way to remove dust is to use canned air or compressed dry nitrogen.

Hey I have a question. You seem very knowledgeable on night vision. Can improper installation of an image intensifier cause the front of the image intensifier to be scratched? I had an objective lense way too tight and when I turned it, I think it caused scratches. Is this possible?

Damn I just got my first PVS14 last Saturday for $3,800 flat with tax. Gen 3 white phos with what I can only tell one small imperfection on the lowest of zone 2. I'm stupid happy with it that I've been looking around to see how to disassemble it 😂😅😅😅 Not gonna do that until I see that intensifire tubes are back on decent flow. Other then that thanks for the video. This thing looks to be stupid easy to service once my Manufacturers warranty is up.

Great video, thanks--I do have a question, have you ever removed the ocular lens to install a LLI filter? If so, how did you take the lens off?
@airmedec135
Жыл бұрын
No you don’t need to remove the ocular lens to install the LLI filters, they simply attached to the back of the lens. It depends on if you have the eyecup retaining attached or not. If the eyecup retaining ring is not attached the filter should simply screw into the rear of the lens.

An unpowered tube can't be damaged due to light exposure. The reason damage can occur when powered, is too much light could bombard with phosphor layer with enough electrons to cause burn in, basically degradation of the chemical that produces the visible light on the eyepiece side. Obviously if the tube is unpowered though then there's no acceleration potential for the cathode to generate electrons in the first place and so no electrons will hit the phosphor.

Snug is all you want. When you install the ocular lens you need to set the diopter adjustment then simply tighten the lock ring snug to hold the ocular lens in place.
