Abstract

Although this paper is concerned primarily with the application of image intensification to light microscopy, much of the quantitative evaluation of the intensifier-TV detector system has been derived from applications to x-ray diffraction. The technique converts x-rays to visible light by means of a suitable scintillator. This light is fiber optically coupled to the image intensifier cathode, and intensification is achieved in the usual way. The method is useful where (1) the specimen is weakly diffracting, (2) the x-ray intensity must be kept low or exposure times short in order not to damage the specimen, or (3) dynamic structure studies are involved.
