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 two standard photocathodes which are GaAsP photocathode and multialkali photocathode. 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. A high-speed shutter camera can easily be configured by simply connecting the image intensifier head to the front of a CCD camera. Various types of CCD cameras can be optically connected through a relay lens or by fiber coupling for highly efficient light transmission from the image intensifier. 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 2000 / XP). Built-in over-light protection circuit allows using these image intensifier units without having to worry much about the input light level.

ACCESSORIES (SOLD SEPARATELY)
GC9018, C9018-01 CCD cameras with fiber optic window
The C9018 series CCD cameras have a restart/reset function and are designed to read out images from C9016 and C9546 series image intensifier units. Fiber coupling allows more highly efficient image readout than lens coupling. The C9018 series cannot be used with C9547 series image intensifier units.
