Abstract: An apparatus and method is disclosed for producing photographs and bright fluoroscopic television pictures of radiation patterns from a subject as converted to visible light images by an image tube. The apparatus includes a radiation source for directing X-radiation through a subject, and an image tube for receiving that radiation and producing in response thereto a visible image of the pattern of such radiation impinging upon the image tube. The apparatus also includes a film camera and a television camera for viewing the image tube output. A diverter apparatus controls the selective transmission of the light image from the image tube onto the film camera and television camera.The film camera is directly aligned with the image tube output. The television camera is transversely displaced with respect to the image tube output. The diverter directs light from the image tube to the television camera in bursts syncronized with the field repetition rate of the television camera.
