autotopagnosia, body-image agnosia
1. The inability to recognize or correctly orient the parts of one's own body.
2. The inability to localize and name the parts of one's own body; finger agnosia would be autotopagnosia restricted to the fingers.
3. A disorder of the body image, because of a lesion of the parietal cortex in the nondominant hemisphere or organic brain damage, characterized by an inability to relate the parts of one's own body to extrapersonal space often with the consequent loss of topographical orientation.

Sometimes the affected individual is also unable to identify and interrelate to the parts of the body of another individual or even with a model.

electric image
1. An array of electric charges, either stationary or moving, in which the density of charge is proportional at each point to the light values of corresponding points in an optical image to be reproduced.
2. An electric charge measured from an arbitrary reference line which is used in finding the electric field set up by fixed electric charges in the area of a conductor.

The electric conductor, with its distribution of induced surface charges, is replaced by one or more of these fictitious charges.

electroluminescent-photoconductive image intensifier (s) (noun), electroluminescent-photoconductive image intensifiers (pl)
A panel, made up of photoconductive and electroluminescent layers that are used as either a positive or a negative image intensifier, depending on the amplitude and the phase of its two power supply voltages: The electroluminescent-photoconductive image intensifier receives the image and converts it into electrical signals; and subsequently, the electroluminescent layer converts the signals into a brighter light.

image photon counting system, IPCS
An electronic detector system that has contributed to the knowledge of astronomy.

This detector is a four-stage, magnetically-focused image intensifier, coupled via a lens to a plumbicon television camera tube.

A plumbicon is the development of the vidicon television camera tube in which the photosensitive material is lead oxide.

A plumbicon is a registered trademark of Philips for its Lead Oxide (PbO) target vidicons or camera tubes in which a charge-density patterns are formed by photoconduction and stored on photoconductor surfaces that are scanned by electron beams; usually, of low-velocity electrons; used chiefly in industrial television cameras.

image tubes
An image intensifier which is a form of electron tube in which an image is focused onto an input photocathode.

The resulting emitted electrons are accelerated within the evacuated tube by a very high voltage.

Image intensifiers are used in many instruments; such as, cameras, spectrographs, and acquisition and guidance systems.
