A night vision device can be either a gen 1, gen 2, Gen 3 or Gen 4.What generation stands for is what type of light intensifier tube is used for that particular device. The light intensifier tube is the heart and soul of a night vision device.

generation 2 is primarily used by law enforcement or for professional applications. This is because the cost of a gen 2 unit is approximately $500.00 to $1000.00 more than a gen 1. The main difference between a gen 1and a gen 2 unit is the addition of a micro-channel plate, commonly referred to as a MCP. The MCP works as an electron amplifier and is placed directly behind the photocathode. The MCP consists of millions of short parallel glass tubes. When the electrons pass through these short tubes, thousands more electrons are released. This extra process allows generation 2 units to amplify the light many more times than generation 1 give you a brighter and sharper image.

generation 3 by adding a sensitive chemical, gallium arsenide to the photocathode a brighter and sharper image was achieved over generation 2. An ion barrier film was also added to increase tube life. Gen. 3 provides the user with good to excellent low light performance.
