From Night Vision Guys about NV Depot BNS-LR / PVS-27 model NVD-BNS-LR-WPHP
Many high end night vision manufacturers offer PVS27 type of night vision clipon. Most of them offer ITT Pinnacle tubes, but none offer the wide range of options within the Gen 3 Pinnacle tube that Night Vision Depot offer. Due to a direct access to ITT's inventory of night vision tubes, Night Vision Depot is able to offer a range of Exelis and Pinnacle tubes ranging from consumer level to Mil Spec. This particular unit NVD-BNS-LR-WPHP is a Commercial configuration of BNS-LR with a White Phosphor tube of superb clarity.
Night Vision Depot Products are available with Gen 3 White Phosphor Image Intensifiers manufactured by ITT Exelis. Traditional image intensifier tubes use a P-43 phosphor screen output, resulting in the yellow-green that has become the signature view through most Gen 3 night vision systems. White Phosphor tubes use a P-45 phosphor screen, which yields an alternate coloration closer to black and white imagery. This change in color has been reported to enhance overall object recognition while providing contrast sensitivity equivalent to or better than traditional green phosphor image tubes. These White Phosphor tubes are available for system upgrades and can be Hand-Select for higher performance. The White Phosphor NVD systems come with a TEN year warranty.
From Night Vision Depot about BNS-LR / PVS27 Night Vision Clip-on NVD-BNS-LR-WPHP.
NVD's Boresighted Night Sight - Long Range (BNS-LR) is an incredibly powerful night vision weaponsight with an impressive magnification. Big brother to the BNS, it can be mounted in front of any boresighted daytime scope with magnification ranging from one to twenty power.
The BNS-LR does not require any boresighting and once mounted the daysight provides the aiming point. The BNS-LR maintains boresight despite normal misalignments due to mount position errors and does not alter the sighting centerline (parallax is unchanged from dayscope). The BNS-LR also contains no beam splitter or folded optics to go out of alignment.
The PVS-27 is revolutionary when used with a high magnification fixed or variable power dayscope. The magnification is provided by the dayscope, which typically has much smaller optics than those associated with normal 4X or 6X night vision weaponsights. This means there is no loss in system gain or typical f/number loss associated with large optics. Variable magnification dayscopes can actually zoom in (up to 20X) and still retain the same gain with only a slight loss in resolution.
Optimized for medium and long-range sniper weapons including the SR-25/MK11, XM107, .338 Lapua, .308 M24, Chandler & 300 Win Mag. Effective on all weapons from carbines to .50 caliber semi-automatic and bolt action sniper rifles. The BNS-LR includes FLIR's proprietary Shock Mitigation System TM, allowing the unit to be used on weapons up to and including .50 caliber bolt-action rifles.
The NVD PVS-27/BNS-LR utilizes MIL SPEC parts and accessories and is built with a choice of Commercial, MIL GRADE or Mil Spec ITT/Exelis GEN III Pinnacle Auto Gated image intensifier tubes.
