Abstract: A streak camera electron-optical image tube having a passive microchannel plate collimation adjacent the photocathode whereby photoelectrons are accelerated by the field between the photocathode and microchannel plate, and collimated by the microchannels. Collimated electrons pass a pair of deflection plates and strike a phosphor screen. Accelerating voltage and deflection voltage are synchronized with phenomenon photographed.
