Charge coupled device with a prior amplification system to improve sensitivity.
Note:
The intensifier used is based on a microchannel plate (MCP), which converts the incoming photons to electrons by means of a photocathode. Generated electrons are multiplied in a second step by the MCP and then reconverted to photons using a phosphorous screen. Finally, derived photons are detected with a CCD device.
