preliminary left: C9016-2X series + controller, center: c9546 series, right: c9547 series high-speed gated image intensifier units C9016-2X, c9546, c9547 series overview image intensifiers (i. i.) are devices capable of intensifying an im- age at high gain and high-speed gating (electronic shutter opera- tion). this allows them to capture "instantaneous images" of ultra- fast phenomena that occur in extremely short periods of time. ha- mamatsu 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 photoca- thodes which are gaasp photocathode and multialkali photoca- thode. 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 cam- era. 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. features high speed gating C9016-2X series: 20 ns ~ c9546 series: 3 ns ~ c9547-01/-02: 5 ns ~ c9547-03/-04: 10 ns ~ gate operation in accordance with input gate pulse width and its repetition rate superior shutter ratio even in uv region mcp gating: c9546, c9547 series high performance image intensifier high quantum efficiency: gaasp model wide spectral response: multialkali model high resolution and high gain built-in protective circuit prevents damage from excessive light applications analysis of high-speed phenomenon engine combustion state plasma emission / discharge / piv / flow / spray and so on. imaging of low-light-level emission and fluorescence time resolved fluorescence imaging for dyed cell/tissue
