An improved version of the Super-HARP pickup tube has been developed by increasing the thickness of the target. Called the New Super-HARP tube, it is 8 times more sensitive than the Super-HARP tube and the thicker target also helps to improve lag characteristics. Moreover, a special target structure is introduced to prevent spurious images. A handheld color camera, which uses the New Super-HARP pickup tubes, has been shown to have outstanding characteristics, including ultrahigh sensitivity, low lag and high resolution. The New Super-HARP camera is expected to become a powerful tool in nightime emergency news gathering and the production of science programs.
