MX-10130 is a specification for image intensifier tubes for the United States military.

The designation is often used to refer to the physical format of the tube described inside of the specification, as all iterations of the specification reuse the same format to facilitate backwards compatibility.

Many different devices are designed to accept MX-10130 tubes, with the most notable example being the AN/PVS-7.

All MX-10130 specifications, and by extension the format itself, are deprecated and have been superseded by the more miniaturized MX-10160 and MX-11769.

General features of a MX10130 are as follow: 

1: Larger compared to a MX10160/11769

2: Connection ports instead of contact plates on MX10160/11769

3: Uses groove for alignment instead of a notch like MX10160/11769
