IMAGE INTENSIFIER UNITS
C9016 SERIES
PRELIMINARY
OVER VIEW
The C9016 series is a family of gated image intensifier
units consisting of a proximity-focused image intensifi-
er head and an easy-to-use remote controller.
The image intensifier built into the head is available
with a GaAsP photocathode or multialkali photoca-
thode. The GaAsP photocathode delivers an extreme-
ly high sensitivity in the visible region and also
acquires images with an incredibly high S/N ratio
thanks to our new photocathode fabrication technique.
The multialkali photocathode offers a wide spectral
range from the UV to near infrared region.
The image intensifier can be operated and controlled
from the remote controller or a PC (personal comput-
er) via the USB (Ver. 1.1 compatible with Windows
2000) interface connector provided on the rear panel
of the image intensifier head. The excessive light pro-
tective function allows you to use the C9016 without
worrying about an increase in the incident light level.
The output image can be easily read out by a CCD
camera with a fiber optic plate window or by various
types of cameras using a relay lens.

NOTE:
AAt wavelength of peak sensitivity
BEffective output area is 12.8 mm 9.6 mm. Take the effective area of the camera and reduction rate of the relay lens to be used into account.
CP-24 and P-46 phosphor screens are also available.
DDuring normal (continuous) mode at maximum gain
ENo condensation
FLow gain type, which is suitable for some application like fluorescence imaging, is also available. Please contact to Hamamatsu sales office in detail.

NOTE: * When using the USB interface, the following conditions must be met.
D (ms) + W (ms) + 5 (ms) < T (ms) / 2
where D is the delay time, W is the gate time and the T is the trigger input interval.
