Abstract
A proximity-type image intensifier tube has an entrance screen which includes a photocathode which is substantially insensitive to light of wavelengths above 500 nm, and an exit screen having a phosphor layer having a substantial emissivity of notably red light having a wavelength of at least 550 nm. Consequently, optical radiation produced by the exit screen does not produce disturbing feedback radiation from the photocathode. This avoids the need for a reflecting metallic layer on the phosphor layer, as has heretofore been required in order to prevent feedback radiation.
