ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a vacuum housing for an image intensifier tube, wherein the vacuum housing is unistructurally formed from a dielectric material and retains a photocathode, microchannel plate (MCP) and anode within an evacuated environment. The vacuum housing is manufactured as a single, solid component, thereby having no seams which may leak and compromise the evacuated environment. The various electrically operative elements of the photocathode, MCP and anode engage separate metalized surfaces formed within the vacuum housing. The electrically operative elements of the photocathode, MCP and anode within the vacuum housing are empowered by coupling the various metalized regions to sources of electrical potential external for the evacuated environment.
