The Design of a 4${1\over 2}$-Inch Image-Orthicon Camera Channel

The 4${1\over 2}$-in. image orthicon was introduced in 1955 as a contender with various European camera tubes for top picture quality with maximum operational flexibility. Its special characteristics are considered, particularly by comparison with 3-in. tubes, in a companion paper.¹ The way these influence the camera channel design is illustrated with reference to a new 4${1\over 2}$-in. camera channel which combines maximum performance with a greatly reduced operating effort.
