Fig. 2. Timing of phosphorescence image acquisition. The curve shows the
exponential decay of phosphorescence intensity It after an
excitation flash at time t=0. The image intensifier is turned on at
delay time td for the gate period
T. The
grey-shaded area indicates that portion of phosphorescence light (Z)
that is integrated on the CCD array during
T. I0,
initial phosphorescence intensity immediately after the excitation flash.
