The PS22-3A is a waterproof night vision attachment that converts your day-time sighting system into a mission critical night vision weapon sight. The PS22 can be co-aligned on a weaver rail with a red-dot or holographic sight, fitted directly to the front of your riflescope with an optional bracket, or attached to an A.R.M.S. quick-release mount. While the PS22 is designed to operate within the 1-6x magnification range of most daytime optics, it is optimized for the 2.5-4x power settings.
This PS22 is fitted with a 3rd generation Pinnacle intensifier tube. Pinnacle tubes feature autogated power supplies and thin-film technology for high levels of resolution and outstanding performance under dynamic lighting conditions.
All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device. No matter what, bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.

- Third generation Pinnacle intensifier: resolution - 64-72 lp/mm
- ITT's "Pinnacle" third generation night vision intensifier tube lives up to its name by being the best there is in the world of image intensifiers. The Pinnacle tube is the US Army's first choice for night vision technology under the Omni VI procurement contract.
- Pinnacle tubes feature a thin-film ion barrier on the MCP, and a gallium-arsenide coated photocathode. The power supply was reconfigured with an auto-gating circuit that significantly enhances the tube's response to dynamic lighting conditions.
- Compared to standard third generation technology, Pinnacle tubes deliver 22% higher photoresponse, 24% improvement in S/N ratio, a significant reduction in halo diameter, 20% greater range of vision at night, 10,000+ hours of tube life.
