Low Light Level Imaging Image Intensiers are used to amplify low light level images in a wide wavelength range to observable levels. PHOTONIS offers a broad range of detectors mostly based on microchannel plate technology. Image Intensiers of 18, 25, and 40mm optical diagonal are available. This selection guide will help you choose the matching options for the best product, optimized to your industrial and scientic application. As a leader in Image Intensiers for Industrial and Scientic applications Photonis has also developed innovative products such as the Intensied CCD and CMOS (ICCD, ICMOS) and the Hybrid Photo Diode (HPD). Co-Development programs have been created to give you access to our latest know-how and shorten your time to market for new products.

Applications Image Intensiers are electron-optical devices in which the image of a scene, focused onto a photocathode, is intensied electronically and displayed on a luminescent screen. Industrial Non-destructive testing / quality control X-rays are often used for non-destructive testing of a wide range of materials. Examples are food (unwanted metal or glass particles) as well as integrated circuits or printed circuit boards (damaged traces). The performance of testing systems can be enhanced when using Image Intensiers. X-ray doses can be greatly decreased when the light, generated in the scintillator,...

Low Light: Level Imaging Features & benefits 1. Choosing photocathode and window material The spectral sensitivity characteristic (Fig. 1) is the curve showing how cathode radiant sensitivity varies with wavelength. The spectral response is determined at the longer wavelength (photo emission threshold) by the photocathode type and thickness and at the shorter wavelengths by the input window transmission (Fig. 2). 2. Choosing the right type of MCP (Minimum light level ->MCP (number, gain) An MCP amplifies the number of electrons generated in the photocathodebefore they are accelerated and finally...
