The detectivity of intensifier image tubes
1University of Rhode Island, Electrical Engineering Department, Kingston, Rhode Island, USA.
Abstract:
A theoretical development has been applied to intensifier image tubes which is similar to that used for ir photodetectors. In essence, a differential equation applicable to intensifier image tubes has been used to obtain exact solutions for signal and noise. These expressions account for factors such as phosphor time constant, area, frequency response, resolution, and efficiency. They can be inserted into the definitions of Noise Equivalent Power, Detectivity Star, and Detective Quantum Efficiency to provide exact expressions indicating the dependence of these quantities on basic factors governing tube operation and performance. An experimental arrangement is described to measure the light signal and noise from the intensifier, utilizing a traveling test wave rather than a stationary TV type of test pattern. This permits image tube evaluation on the same basis as photodetectors.

Phase Contrast and Differential Interference Contrast Microscopy
In-phase-contrast microscopes, interference between light directly passing through a cell and light refracted by cellular components is used to create high-contrast, high-resolution images without staining. It is the oldest and simplest type of microscope that creates an image by altering the wavelengths of light rays passing through the specimen. Altered wavelength paths are created using an annular stop in the condenser. The annular stop produces a hollow cone of...
