the D-16 is a french gen 1 image intensifier made by CSF (Compagnie générale de télégraphie sans fil) in the 60's and used among others in the AMX-30 B-17-A fire periscope, these tubes was mainly used by the french army but was also available for extern military contracts ,nowadays these tube's are very rare due to the destruction of materials by the army after retirement from service.

thankfully unlike many others french tubes data's who fell in the limbes the data sheet of the D-16 is available in pdf format only in french language.
