Abstract
A middle-infrared image intensifier including an image-forming microchannel plate having an input face with a photoconductor material that is activated by middle-infrared radiation, means for flooding electrons to a region adjacent to the input face of the photoconductor, an electron sensitive light emitting screen positioned to receive electrons from the output face of the microchannel plate, and means for activating the microchannel plate to multiply electrons in channels of the microchannel plate having middle-infrared radiation incident thereon.
