HIGH-SPEED GATED IMAGE INTENSIFIER UNITS C9016-2x, C9546, C9547 SERIES ▲Left: C9016-2x series + Controller, Center: C9546 series, Right: C9547 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. Hamamatsu C9016-2x, C9546 and C9547 series image intensifier units consist of a compact head that integrates an image intensifier with a high-speed gate operation circuit and a remote controller. Built-in image intensifiers are available with three standard photocathodes which are GaAsP, GaAs, and multialkali photocathodes. A high-sensitivity, high-speed shutter camera can be configured by simply connecting an image intensifier head to the front of a camera such as a CCD camera. Various types of CCD cameras can be optically connected through a relay lens. CCD cameras with fiber optic window are available as options. Image intensifier gain can be adjusted from the remote controller or a PC (personal computer) through USB interface (Ver. 1.1 compatible with Windows Vista business / 7 Pro). Built-in over-light protection circuit allows using these image intensifier units without having to worry much about the input light level.
