Japanese: I.I. - あいあい
II - Aiai

...A vacuum tube that accelerates and focuses photoelectrons emitted from the photocathode by incident light, forming an image on a fluorescent screen and causing it to emit light, thereby obtaining an optical image (Figure 1). It is also called an image intensifier (abbreviated II) or image tube. It has the function of multiplying the brightness of weak light and converting invisible light images into visible images, the latter also called image converter tubes. It is used for night vision, academic research, medical purposes, etc. Night vision image intensifiers use highly sensitive multi-alkali photocathode or infrared Ag-O-Cs photocathode, and some use fiber plates on the input and output surfaces to connect two or three of them together to obtain high sensitivity. ...
