🗑
What type of vision are the rods of the eye used for?   scoptic or night vision  
🗑
Where are rods found in the eye?   around the periphery  
🗑
Why type of light do rods use?   dim/low light  
🗑
What are the cones of the eye used for?   visua acuity, contrast and brightness differentiation  
🗑
Where are the cones of the eye found?   around the fovea centralis  
🗑
What type of vision are the cones of the eye used for?   photooptic/color vision  
🗑
What part of the eye is the image intensifier designed to utilize?   cones  
🗑
Visual acuity   ability to peserve fine detail (cones)  
🗑
Contrast perception   ability to detect differences in light levels (cones)  
🗑
protective covering of the eye:   cornea  
🗑
light projected through the cornea is focused where?   through the lens and onto the retina  
🗑
how long is the image intensifier?   50cm  
🗑

🗑
What is the photocathode made of?   cesium and other e- emmiting coponents  
🗑
What type of charge does the electrostatic focusing lens have and why?   negative, to repel e-s and direct them toward output phosphor  
🗑
How much of what material makes up the output phosphor?   2.5 to 5cm zinc-cadnium sulfide  
🗑
What does the output phosphor do?   convert electrons to visible light  
🗑
In the flux gain formula, flux gain equals what?   number of input light photons / number of input x-ray photons  
🗑
What is flux gain?   measure of increase in light photons at the output phosphor to x-ray photons at the input phosphor  
🗑
What controls flux?   mA  
🗑
What is brightness gain?   ability of the image intensifier tube to increase illumination level of the image  
🗑
