Abstract: The invention relates to an X-ray detector which includes at least one conversion unit (1) for converting absorbed X-ray quanta into electric charge signals, at least one evaluation unit (10) for amplifying and further processing the charge signals, and at least one data processing unit (11) for the acquisition, further processing and output of data. The charge signals are first amplified by an input amplifier (2) in the evaluation unit (10) after which they are evaluated in parallel in a counting channel (5) as well as in an integrator channel (7). The charge signals are then counted in the counting channel and the overall charge is integrated in the integrator channel as a measure of the energy delivered in the conversion unit (1). Because of the parallel presentation of the counting results and the integration results, more weight can be attached thereto in their respective range of the quantum flow that is optimum from a measuring point of view, so that the dynamic range of the X-ray detector is enlarged.

Abstract: The invention relates to a color television projection device having three planar monochromatic light sources for the background illumination of a viewing screen, in which a matrix-shaped electro-optical light valve is associated with each light source characterized in that the light sources are cathodo luminescent.

Abstract: A thickened part (1) of a high-melting metal, which may contain emitter material, is formed on a carrier (2) of a high-melting metal. In order to manufacture such electrode structures in mass production and to obtain both various material transitions and combinations and optimum designs, the thickened part (1) is formed by reactive deposition from the gaseous phase (CVD method), preferably by laser-supported deposition from the gaseous phase.
