Ultrahigh-Sensitivity Color HDTV Camera for Shooting Heavenly Bodies
An ultrahigh-sensitivity color HDTV camera has been developed that consists of three proximity-focused image intensifier tubes of large image size (useful area: 40 mm diameter) and three FIT CCDs of 2/3-in.2M pixels. The images are relayed by high-quality lenses with a reducing power of 1/3.6. The camera's sensitivity is 3,000 times higher than that of a conventional HDTV CCD camera. This camera has made it possible to take rare shots of a meteor from the ground and video images of the various hues of celestial bodies by means of an advanced astronomical telescope.
