Image intensifiers

Thermal imagers TV cameras Night vision devices Laser systems Boresight systems Multi-sensor systems Image intensifiers IR FPA sensors CCD/CMOS sensors Optical systems Discrete detectors Test services

ITS Series stations make possible accurate testing of modern image intensifier tubes according to recommendations of MIL standards. Three quasi-independent  test stations are offered:

  1. ITS –I  for imaging tests, 

  2. ITS-P for photometric tests, 

  3. ITS – R for reliability  tests.  

The stations combined together enable measurement of almost all parameters of image intensifier tubes mentioned in typical well known MIL standards.

Why ITS station are the best offer on the market?

ITS stations are not the only test equipment that enable testing image intensifier tubes. However, we are proud that due to different reasons ITS stations have significant advantages over equivalent test stations offered by competitors. 

  1. The number of parameters  that can be measured using ITS stations is much higher  that using other test stations. 

  2. ITS test station offer higher measurement speed and possibility to record measurement results. 

  3. ITS stations in comparison to other test stations are characterized by the highest ratio of measurement capabilities to price.

At present  Inframet is a world-leader in field of equipment for testing image intensifier tubes.  Well known manufacturers of II tubes or manufacturers of night vision devices use ITS test stations to improve quality control of their products. Other important group of our customers are scientific institutes doing research  in field of image intensifier tubes. 

  • Attention: Influence of most important parameters of II tubes on final image quality can be simulated using our freeware Nightmet computer simulator. Please download the Nightmet  program, run it and see practically how different image intensifier tubes perform under different illumination conditions. It is recommended to read earlier the manual of Nightmet simulator.
