Abstract: Low light level television system to detect the nocturnal light reflected from objects, comprising a main channel and acting on an extended range of wavelengths, provided with a low light level pick-up or detector tube, and a color channel, acting on a limited range of wavelengths, intended to bring forth the color for the formation of color images on a television monitor. The color channel includes an optical filter, which optical filter eliminates the infrared part of the reflected nocturnal light spectrum, a further low light level pick-up or detector tube, an electronic filter acting on the signal supplied by this further pick-up tube, the two tubes being placed side-by-side and being synchronized. The main and the color channels each act on a color channel of the monitor. The electronic filter provides a temporal integration over several fields. A processing circuit can combine the signals coming from the main and the color channels to act on a third color channel of the monitor.
