Image intensifiers amplify the available light to achieve better vision.
An objective lens focuses available light on the photocathode of an image
intensifier. The light energy causes electrons to be released from the
cathode which are accelerated by an electric field to increase their speed.
These electrons bounce off the internal, specially-coated walls which generate
more electrons as the electrons bounce
through. This creates a denser "cloud" of electrons representing an intensified
version of the original image. The visual light shows the
desired view to the user or to an attached photographic camera or video device.
A green phosphor is used in these applications because the human eye can
differentiate more shades of green than any other color, allowing for greater
differentiation of objects in the picture.
