Type of image intensifier

Image intensifier can be divided into X-ray image intensifier, infrared image intensifier and visible image intensifier according to the type of input light. The image intensifier consists of an reinforced tube, tube container, power supply, optical system, and bracket (support).

Its main part is the image intensifier tube, which has an input screen (accepting X-ray radiation to generate electron flow) and an output screen (accepting electron bombardment), so that the former enhances thousands of times of brightness of the image on the output screen. The reinforced tube is a vacuum tube made of glass. For the purpose of protection, a tube container is needed.

The tube container also functions to shield X-rays and shield the external electromagnetic field and protect the human body from high voltage damage. In addition to the image intensifier, there is a set of power supplies, including the reinforced tube high voltage power supply, the focus power supply and the power supply for driving the degassing ion pump inside the reinforced tube. The image intensifier tube is the heart of the image intensifier.
