A device used to make a brighter version of an image on a photoelectric screen.
‘On the other hand, an image intensifier or electron-multiplying CCD would not assist in overcoming shot noise but only in overcoming readout noise, which we did not consider in our noise estimates.’
‘An image intensifier, which is often bonded fiber-optically to the photosensitive CCD of the system, amplifies incident photons and allows detection of low-light signals.’
‘A long, thin guide wire with a smooth rounded tip is first inserted and then guided, under X-ray control using a fluorescent screen or a TV image intensifier, into the vessel to be examined.’
‘Deep-well detectors require an image intensifier to produce a sufficient number of photons to provide ample signal-to-noise.’
‘In a traditional x-ray detector, known as an image intensifier, x rays produce electrons, which, after being accelerated and focused by an electric field, strike a phosphor screen.’
‘Imaging with a mobile image intensifier, therefore, has been identified as the optimal radiographic technique for finding retained surgical needles in patients.’
‘These are the image intensifier, operating microscope, arthroscopy, laser, radio frequency, power equipment, and computer-assisted surgery.’
‘The setup is similar to that used for fixation of hip fractures, including a fracture distraction table with a well-padded perineal post and an image intensifier.’
‘Placement of the needle into the joint can be confirmed with the image intensifier, or may be directly visualized from the arthroscope in the anterolateral portal.’
‘The resolution of particle position in our measurements was limited by noise from the image intensifier and fluctuations in background fluorescence.’
‘The patient can usually be positioned supine under the image intensifier, making the approach more comfortable for patient and operator.’
‘There is also an interface for an image intensifier or thermal imaging sight, allowing the unit to be used in virtually any conditions, day or night.’
‘As an option the periscope can be upgraded with an image intensifier or other plug-in modules.’
‘Light emitted from the LEDs can be seen by any image intensifier.’
‘This color vision is critical to the soldier's ability to read maps and use such devices as image intensifiers.’
‘Charge-coupled devices also made in Chelmsford were used in image intensifiers - to register crystal clear pictures from the delicately built all-British lander.’
‘Passive image intensifiers and thermal imaging equipment for night driving, navigation and weapon deployment permit round-the-clock combat operations.’
‘The lightweight sight and display includes advanced visor projection with image intensifiers and forward looking infrared.’
‘After sunset we affixed image intensifiers with 80-200 mm zoom camera lenses to the video cameras.’
‘It is equipped with a range of modular day and night observation equipment, based on image intensifiers or infrared technology.’
