• Sub-nano second gating: Variable gate width DC to 5 nsec and one user defined setting between 2 nsec to 500 psec
• UNIGEN II™ : Gen III intensifier with supplementary UV response to 185 nm.
• f : Gen III filmless – generation III intensifier without the ion barrier (HQ f, HB f)
• HQf : highest peak quantum efficiency
• HBf :high quantum efficiency with enhanced blue response
• RB* : fast gate width 2 nsec, low-EBI tube for CW experiments, red/blue-balanced.
• RB Slow: tube with slow gate option. Unusually high QE by eliminating the conductive underlay used for fast gating.
• SB* : fast gate width 2 nsec, the super-blue photocathode response from the UV out to 500 nm.
• SB Slow: tube with slow gate option. Unusually high QE by eliminating the conductive underlay used for fast gating intensifiers.
• UV* : for deep UV with MgF² window for optimum sensitivity down to 120 nm.
• Phosphor decay time down to 1%: P20 60 msec, P47 0.4µsec, P46 2 µsec, P43 3 msec
• EBI: Equivalent Background Illumination. Thermally generated electrons from the photocathode measured in lumens per square centimetre (lm/cm 2) at room temperature.
