Invisible Vision Intensifiers UVI

The Invisible® Vision UVi series of camera accessory intensifiers are designed to add low light, extended spectral range (from UV to NIR) and fast gating in a compact and all inclusive, easy to use lens coupled package. Typical applications are in combustion, electric discharge, biomedical and ultra-high speed stroboscopic or shuttering techniques with high speed or conventional video cameras
