(Redirected from Inverting image intensifier)

An inverting image intensifier tube is a tube where the screen image is rotated by 180° compared to the one projected onto the photocathode.

On modern tubes that inversion is achieved by a fiberoptic inverter, on older tubes it is avhieved by electrostatically altering the path of the electron beam inside the tube.
