The image which is pressed against one end of fiber optic inverter (FOI) is resolved to the correspondent pixels by millions of fibers, and the pixel information is transmitted to the other end of the FOT one by one through the total reflection of light. The pixels are enlarged or reduced with the fiber diameter and are imaged at the output end according to the original arrangement.

The image intensifier is a vacuum-tube based device (photomultiplier tube) that can generate an image from a very small number of photons (such as the light from stars in the sky) so that a dimly lit scene can be viewed in real-time by the naked eye via visual output, or stored as data for later analysis.

Micro wells are fabricated on the surface of FOP. The optical information emitted by the samples in the micro well is transmitted to the output end of FOP through fibers.
