Electron-Optical High-Speed Camera for the Investigation of Transient Processes

This electrostatic deflection image-converter system has speeds up to 5 × 10⁶frames/sec, and exposures as brief as 5 × 10^-8 sec. The number of frames in a subseries can be 4 or 8. The total number of frames in a series is 16. The exposure time for each frame can be varied during the series. The maximum exposure variation from 1st to 16th frame is a factor of 20. Frame size is 5 mm × 5 mm. Resolution is 30 lines/mm. The equipment can also take a series of four streak records at controllable intervals. A discussion is given of the effective aperture ratio of the converter plus input and output lenses, for various electrical and optical magnifications.
