The term Photo IC is used for sophisticated sensors that combine a photosensitive element(usually a photodiode) and a signal processing circuit in a single element. This group also includes the phototransistor and the colour detector (RGB sensor).
Image intensifiers are capable of capturing and amplifying a weak image signal. They are suitable not only for night-time monitoring but also for scientific and technical research.
Electron Multipliers(EMs) are used to detect electrons, ions, VUV beams and soft X-rays.
UV TRON is an ultraviolet radiation detector that is used as a flame sensor. It can quickly detect weak UV radiation coming from a flame and is completely insensitive to the visible part of the spectrum.
