Description
ECHO image intensifiers are a high-performance, low-cost offering to the commercial market. This technology can offer ultra-fast Auto-Gating, a small halo and the high resolution expected from a high-grade tube.
Echo tubes are available in two high performance grades in both green or white phosphor offering the best option for any user.
Option available
P43 or P45 |
|---|
P43 (green phosphor) or P45 (white phosphor)
A phosphor screen does not affect the performance of the image intensifier tube, and therefore one phosphor is not better than another. Phosphor selection is often a personal preference. P45 is a black and white phosphor which provides excellent recognition. P45 has similar decay properties as the P43 (green) phosphor, but gives the user with B&W images which are more easily recognized by the human eye by providing more discriminating shades of intensity. The result is less eye fatigue and faster recognition, particularly in sandy or rocky terrain.
16 mm |
|---|
16 mm Image Intensifier Tube
Photonis was the first manufacturer to develop white phosphor image intensifier tubes and is also the only company to offer a 16mm format tube. Thanks to its strong capacity for innovation, Photonis encourages night vision equipment manufacturers to develop their own equipment. Indeed, by introducing the 16mm tube, Photonis has allowed the design of new night vision binoculars, lighter and less voluminous while still being more efficient.
