MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637087944 A) filed by Exosens France on July 18, 2026, for Process For Producing A Microchannel Plate, Associated Image Intensifier Tube And Night Vision System.
Inventors include Lavoute, Pascal; Chazot, Matthieu; and Nutzel, Gert.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a microchannel plate comprising the following steps: ? functionalizing the internal surface of the microchannels (25) by depositing metal nanoparticles (40) with a view to allowing hopping conduction in the microchannels (25); and ? fastening the metal nanoparticles (40) to the surface of the microchannels (25) by depositing a layer of dielectric on the functionalized surface of the microchannels (25). The functionalizing step comprises the following steps: ? applying electrostatic charges of a first polarity (41) to the metal nanoparticles (40) within an aqueous solution; ? applying electrostatic charges of opposite polarity (43) to the electrostatic charges applied to the metal nanoparticles (40), to the internal wall of the microchannels (25); and ? dipping the microchannels (25) into the solution so as to deposit the metal nanoparticles (40) on the internal surface of the microchannels (25), before the step of fastening the metal nanoparticles (40).
