EBI<br />

Dark current of photocathodes<br />

EBI sets lower detection limit<br />

EBI = 0.02 ... 0.1 photoelectrons/pixel/s<br />

Higher for red sensitive photocathodes (lower work<br />

functions)<br />

EBI can be minimized by:<br />

- storing intensifier in darkness (> 1 h)<br />

- cooling the photocathode<br />
