An Improved Image Orthicon

E. D. Hendry, W. E. Turk

The 3-inch image orthicon has certain limitations, mainly associated with target structure. The 4${1\over 2}$-in. image orthicon was developed with the intent of overcoming these limitations while retaining the sensitivity of the 3-in. tube. Among the new tube's operational advantages are higher signal-to-noise ratio and better resolution.
