How do I take a picture of my NV tube

[Swatman]

Can someone tell me how you take pictures of your night vision tubes like in the for sale adds. Kosher Surplus has pics of all their tubes on their website and it’s pretty cool to see the differences between them. I’m not selling anything but I am just wondering how that is done.

Lots of different ways but basically turn it on and point it at a blank featureless white wall and then try to hold your camera/phone still enough to take a photo through it. A tripod can help, or you can take a video through it with your phone and screenshot the best frame from the video. Places that sell a lot of NV sometimes have special rigs that combine a NV/thermal mount with a camera mount to make this a lot easier.
