VS-345EOS

F-Mount GEN III Image Intensifier Assembly

Convert your Canon EOS1_DS camera into a low light level camera with just a click using VSI's VS-345EOS Image Intensifier Assembly. Just insert the VS-345EOS between your lens and camera, and your camera is ready to take low light level images. The VS-345EOS is an image intensifier assembly containing an ultra high resolution Blue Sensitive Gen III Micro-Channel Plate (MCP) Image Intensifier with internal optics for coupling to the camera's EOS lens mount

The high efficiency optics provide a distortion free uniform image transfer to the camera, matching the intensifier tube's active area to the image sensor. The image intensifier is pre-adjusted for focus, uniformity and gain. The manual gain control is easily adjusted for any scene illumination within the range of the intensifier while looking through the camera's viewfinder. 

The VS-345EOS is battery operated from an attached power pack.
