HOW DOES IT WORK
An image intensifier is a device that amplifies light from an image. In some respects a photon acts as a particle for instance the reflection of a picture from flat water. In order to create a picture, a large amount of photons are required to reach the human retina. An image intensifier turns the few photons into electrons and then multiplies the electrons through the micro channel plate and then turns the electrons back into an enhanced picture using a phosfure screen.
Albert Einstein was first to claim that when a photon
collides with matter, the photon passes it`s energy to
an electron.
An image intensifier tube uses that claim, then we
multiply the electrons and end with the electrons
reaching the phosphor screen.
