About HARDER.digital
HARDER.digital is an engineering and industrial company founded in 1999, headquartered in Woltersdorf near Berlin (Turm Thurau), Germany. The company develops and manufactures Generation I and II image intensifiers as well as high-performance Gen-III image intensifiers and custom image tubes. In addition, MCP screen detectors and MCP-based mounts for scientific detector applications are offered, along with thermal imaging engines as part of complete night vision solutions. Building on its image tube manufacturing, HARDER.digital also develops and produces manufacturing equipment for image tubes, including process stations, ultra-high vacuum equipment and customized systems for chemical processing. In 2008, the Serbian image intensifier company HARDER.digital SOVA (formerly "Ei Sova") was acquired; since 2010, both locations together form HARDER.digital. The products are certified by leading night vision device manufacturers, and exports to over 30 countries on all 7 continents are subject to strict monitoring by German authorities.
