Low light level devices for science and technology. Conference held at Reston, Va., USA, 22 - 23 March 1976.

Papers presented at the conference cover the general topics: general applications of low light level (LLL) devices, applications of LLL devices in public services (mining, security systems, firefighting, fisheries management), uses of LLL devices in astronomy, and applications of LLL devices in medicine. Microchannel image inverters, image intensifiers, charge-coupled devices and charge-injection devices and their intensified variants (ICCD, ICID), IR thermography, forward looking IR equipment (FLIR), and video densitometry systems are representative of the hardware discussed. Medical applications concern cancer diagnosis (thermography), LLL monitoring of internal organs and tissues, nuclear medicine (scintigraphy), enhanced X-ray diagnostics, night vision aids for night blindness sufferers, and LLL video techniques in biomedical research. Individual items are announced in this issue.
