What component in the image intensifier adjusts the field from standard to magnification mode?

The electrostatic lens is the correct choice because it plays a crucial role in manipulating the path of electrons within the image intensifier. In standard mode, the electrostatic lenses focus all the electrons generated by the input phosphor onto the output phosphor uniformly. When the system is switched to magnification mode, the electrostatic lens configuration changes to focus electrons from a smaller area of the input phosphor, effectively magnifying the image produced. This adjustment not only enhances the detail of the image by concentrating on a specific region but also allows for a larger output image without losing crucial details.

The other components listed do not adjust the field for magnification purposes. Image intensifier collimation is primarily involved in restricting the beam to minimize patient exposure and enhance image quality but does not affect the magnification capability directly. The getter circuit is related to maintaining the vacuum within the image intensifier and does not contribute to adjusting image magnification. The output phosphor converts electrons into visible light but remains a constant factor in both standard and magnification modes, serving as the endpoint for the image transformation rather than being involved in adjusting the input image characteristics.
