IMAGE INTENSIFIER UNITS
C9548 SERIES
OVERVIEW
Image intensifiers (I. I.) are devices capable of intensifying an image at high gain and high-speed gating (electronic shutter operation). This allows them to capture "instantaneous images" of ultrafast phenomena that occur in extremely short periods of time.
The C9548 series is an image intensifier unit which is suitable for
PIV application. It has a built-in pulse generator to allow multi-exposure (burst) operation.
The GaAsP photocathode is ideal for low-light-level imaging in the
visible region such as for fluorescence observations. The multialkali
photocathode on the other hand offers high sensitivity over a wider
spectral response range from the UV through near IR region so
observations can be made at various wavelengths.
By using a relay lens, the C9548 series can be easily connected to
various CCD cameras or high-speed cameras. The image intensifier gain, gate width and delay time can be controlled and set from a
PC through the RS-232C interface. (The image intensifier gain can
also be controlled and set from the remote controller.)

NOTE: AAt wavelength of peak sensitivity
BEffective output area is 16 mm × 16 mm. Take the effective area of the camera and reduction rate of the relay lens to be used into account.
CInput illuminance (or irradiance) required to produce a luminous emittance from the phosphor screen, which is equal to that obtained when no
light is indent on the photocathode. This indicates the lower limit of detectable illuminance (or irradiance) level of an image intensifier.
