7.9 INTENSICAM-1412
7.9.1 Introduction
The Intensicam-1412 is a special version of a 1412 camera in which a gated Gen III image
intensifier is fiber-optically bonded to the front surface of the CCD. Due to the high luminous gain
of the Intensifier tube, every incident photon generates thousands of electrons within the tube.
Even under very low-light conditions, this results in a live image on the phosphor of the Intensifier,
which is viewable by the CCD.
