Abstract: One embodiment relates to a high-voltage electron gun including an insulator stand-off having a resistive layer. The resistive layer is at least on an interior surface of the insulator stand-off. A cathode holder is coupled to one end of the insulator 115 stand-off, and an anode is coupled to the other end. The resistive layer advantageously increases the surface breakdown field strength for the insulator stand-off and so enables a compact design for the high-voltage electron gun. Other embodiments, aspects and feature are also disclosed.

The electron gun, which includes a cathode, a control electrode, a screen electrode, and a plurality of focusing electrodes to focus and accelerate an electron beam, is designed to satisfy the condition that a value of ? is greater than or equal to 0.222 or a value of k is greater than or equal to 0.11, where ?=T1/D, k=T1/L, T1 denotes a thickness of the control electrode, D denotes a diameter of an electron beam aperture of the control electrode, and L denotes the distance between a beam-entering surface of the control electrode and a beam-emitting surface of the screen electrode.

Abstract: A color cathode-ray tube including a main lens section comprising an anode to which an anode voltage is applied, and a focus electrode. The focus electrode has first type of focus electrode group to which a first focus voltage is applied, and a second type of focus electrode group to which a second focus voltage is applied which is obtained by superposing on a predetermined voltage a voltage that changes depending upon the deflecting amount of the electron beams. Between the first type of focus electrode group and the second type of focus electrode group are formed in a dynamic lens and an electrostatic quadrupole lens. Three electron beam passage holes are formed in the electrodes that form the dynamic lens and the centers for the outer electron beam passage holes in the first type of focus electrode group are deviated relative to the centers of the outer electron beam passage holes in the second type of focus electrode group in the horizontal direction.

Abstract: A correct estimation of a focussed condition of the cathode ray tube can be performed. A predetermined image (14) is displayed at a predetermined position on a screen of a cathode ray tube. A focussing voltage of the cathode ray tube is varied in a condition that a distance from a reference position to a predetermined position in the image is detected. When the changing state of the detected distance is displayed on a predetermined display means (11a), an optical low pass filter is arranged in the optical system such as the incident part of a sensor (15) or the like. From an output of the sensor (15), a condition is determined as the just-focussed condition, the under-focussed condition or the over-focussed condition and the beam spot diameter is calculated from the detected line width. On the basis of the decision of the under-focussed or the over-focussed condition and the calculated value of the beam spot diameter, a focus quantitative value is obtained.

Abstract: Electrons emitted from a photocathode in response to incident X-rays are accelerated and focused onto a microchannel plate (MCP). The electrons multiplied by the MCP are converted into a visible light image by a phosphor screen. An envelope tube is curved at a halfway portion, and the electrons are deflected by a deflection coil so as to travel along the curved envelope tube and enter the MCP. Even if X-rays are transmitted from the photocathode, they do not enter the MCP directly and hardly contribute to the background noise. A limiting aperture ring may further be employed to prevent the X-rays reflected by the inside wall of the envelope tube from entering the MCP.

Abstract: A framing camera comprises a photocathode, a first deflection means for scanning electron beams emitted from the photocathode, a slit plate having a single slit for converting the electron beams with a spatial picture image information into electron beams with a picture image of temporal sequence and a second deflection means for scanning the electron beams passed from the slit plate to have them impinge upon a phosphor screeen to thereby produce a plurality of framed patterns, in which deflection voltages supplied to the first and second deflection means are adjustable independently of each other.

Abstract: A streak tube comprising a photocathode for converting an optical image into a photoelectron beam, accelerating means for accelerating the photoelectron beam, deflecting means for deflecting the accelerated photoelectron means, focusing means for focusing the deflected photoelectron beam and a phosphor screen for receiving the focused photoelectron beam and forming a streak image corresponding to the optical image. The photoelectron beam emitted from the photocathode is deflected immediately after accelerated by the accelerating means, and subsequently is focused on the phosphor screen, to thereby eliminate the spread of the photoelectron beam on the phosphor screen upon sweeping of the photoelectron beam.

Abstract: A photoconductive target camera tube provided to operate within a solenoid producing a uniform magnetic focusing field has a grid with a beam width defining aperture therein between the electron gun and the normally provided cylindrical anode. The aperture grid is mounted upon a ring of magnetic material which acts to reduce the magnitude of the focusing magnetic field at the plane of the aperture so to achieve a demagnification of the image of the aperture at the target with a consequent reduction in the beam spot size.
