Description
Our ability to offer custom image intensification solutions guarantees you capture the wavelength you require with the gain, output, and timing you need. Our extensive experience and capability means we can create prototypes, small batch, or full production quantities.
Image Intensifier tubes are used to amplify photons across a wide range of wavelengths, making them visible to researchers to observe behavior and phenomena. Our detectors are ideal for medical imaging, non-destructive testing, high-energy physics research, or space exploration. Photonis offers the largest selection of both custom and standard detectors in the market, to be sure you get the exact detector to match your requirements.
Learning Highlight
Hi-QE photocathodes
Photonis' Hi-QE photocathodes are available in four options, designed to heighten the spectral response across specific wavelengths when compared to broader spectral response photocathodes of S20 and S25. The Hi-QE UV offers superior detection to 330nm, while the Hi-QE blue provides improved response through 400mn. The Hi-QE green option provides unparalleled response from 400-550 nm, while the new Hi-QE Red photocathode is optimized for the 400-900nm spectral range, providing 50% greater quantum efficiency. At 650nm, Hi-QE Red provides 22% QE - versus 16% in the standard S25 photocathode. Notably, at 900nm the Hi-QE red photocathode offers a 50% improvement over the traditional S25 photocathode.
