Abstract

An image converter or intensifier which supplies a visual image from incident radiation. It comprises a metallic grid, a detector layer formed by a mosaic of semiconductor elements disposed in the meshes of the grid, a layer which is sensitive to the incident radiation and which supplies photons to the semiconductor elements, means for biasing the grid and semiconductor elements, and means for visualizing the spatial distribution of electrical charges thus obtained.
