P8079HP Image intensifier

The P8079HP is a three-stage cascade inverted first generation image intensifier tube with a P20 phosphor screen and integrated power supply, It requires a voltage of 6.75V, though operational performance is maintained until 4.5V.

Although very large (196mm length, 70mm diameter), and with a strong pincushion effect in the output image, due to the three cascading stages the performance is comparable to later generation image intensifiers.

Performance Parameter Unit of measurement Value
Resolution lp / mm ~40
Photocathode Sensitivity uA/lm @ 2856K ~300
Phosphor P20
Screen Diameter mm 25
