The HICATT is a  high speed intensified camera attachment specially designed for use in combination with high speed cameras. It amplifies low-light signals to a level that is up to 100,000 times higher. The HICATT is standard equipped with an hybrid intensifier consisting of 2 stages. The first stage, a Gen2 or Gen 3 proximity focused MCP intensifier, offers a very high, adjustable gain. The second stage, a Gen 1 booster, produces the extra high output brightness that is required for high speed imaging. An integrated relay lens couples the image intensifier to the camera. Depending on the size of the image sensor, different relay lenses are applied. 

 

  The image intensifier HiCATT, will increase the sensitivity of the high-speed camera and allow for low-light-level imaging applications at frame rates up to 200.000 fps. The HiCATT, high-speed camera attachment is connected (F-mount or C-mount) to the high-speed camera for optimal flexibility. And is available in both 18mm and 25mm input diameter.

 

The HiCATT image intensifier, high-speed camera attachment widens the dynamic range of the high-speed camera. At the low end single photons can be detected while at high illumination levels the use of very short gate pulses (down to 40ns) brings down the duty cycle of the image intensifier 10,000 times. At the same time these short exposures yield sharp images of fast moving objects.

 

The Standard image intensifier HiCATT, high-speed camera attachment is equipped with F-mount at the input and C-mount at the output side. Optionally other mounts can be applied.
