Frequently Asked Questions:

What is Auto-Gating?

When there are bright lights in the scene, such as headlights from a car, the image can bloom. Auto-Gating will turn off the photocathode voltage for brief periods of time, imperceptible to the human eye, to keep a high resolution and clear image.

Should I chose green or white phosphor?

Both provide the same low light performance and are fast decaying phosphors -it is down to personal choice. 

Which tube shape fits my device?

We offer three drawings that will fit the vast majority of devices. Please have a look at the drawings below and double check that it matches your device. 

Do you supply other types of drawings/shapes?

Yes, we can offer almost any tube drawing that is available. Get in touch, we will need to know the tube drawing required, green or white phosphor and which grade (e.g. ECHO or XR5).
