image intensifier

An image intensifier is a device that enhances low-light images, making them clearer and more visible to the human eye. Often used in night vision equipment, it captures available light, including near-infrared light, and amplifies it to produce a brighter image. The technology works by converting light into electrons and then amplifying these electrons before converting them back into visible light. This allows users to see in dim conditions, such as nighttime or dark environments, making it valuable for military, security, and recreational activities like hunting or wildlife observation.
