Shutter Image Converter Tube for Multiple-Frame Photography
Various systems for ultra-fast photographic shutters are described. It is shown that shutter image converter tubes have the advantage of light gain and the adjustable frame rate and frame spacing. A shutter tube is described which is capable of delivering 16 frames on the viewing screen, utilizing electrostatic focusing and electromagnetic deflection. This tube employs an Sb-Cs (0) photo-cathode formed by external Sb-evaporation, a cascaded focusing system, deflection yokes which are assembled around the neck of the tube, a lumped PDA system, and a yellow-green modified P20 phosphor for the viewing screen. The tube is capable of exposure times in the range of 1 mμsec.
