The input of the image intensifier needs to be coupled to a C-mount objective, so it needs to be able to be coupled directly or using an adapter. The output of the image intensifier needs to be coupled through a lens to a C-mount camera. We don’t want to have direct phosphor-camera sensor coupling, we want to have a projected image of the phosphor on the camera sensor using a C-mount connection. The image intensifier needs to have such an integrated relay lens and coupling, or offer the possibility to connect to such an external relay lens. In the last case, the offer needs to specify how exactly this is to be done. So essentially, the setup in which the image intensifier needs to be used is : (ZnS scintillating screen) — (C mount objective) [DEVICE] (C mount camera) Or : (ZnS scintillating screen) — (C mount objective) [DEVICE] (coupling lens) (C mount camera) where the image intensifier is called DEVICE. The image intensifier needs to be equipped with all needed HV power supplies and regulating electronics for its functioning ; we can provide for instance 5 V DC as external power source. As the image intensifier will be locked into a black box, the device cannot be operated on battery. It needs to be powered externally. The image intensifier needs to be sensitive to visible light in the green-blue range (scintillation light of ZnS screen) and can be used in very low light conditions, and will have to operate during seconds – hours. No fast gating is necessary. The resolution needs to be higher than ~50 lp / mm if the sensor is of the order of 15 mm diameter.
