Abstract
A cooler for an image intensifier system which comprises an image intensifier tube having a face plate. The cold side of a thermoelectric cooler has a hot side and a cold side and is secured to a highly thermally conductive cold plate and the face plate. A highly thermally conductive hot plate contacts the hot side of the thermoelectric cooler. A finned heat sink can be coupled to the thermally conductive hot plate. The thermoelectric cooler is preferably in a state of compression between the cold plate and the hot plate. The system further can include an hermetically sealed region containing the face plate and the cold plate. A desiccant can be disposed within the hermetically sealed region.
