The Capabilities and Prospects of Television Camera Tubes in Applications for Astronomy
The image-orthicon camera tube has shown great flexibility as a sensitive conversion device displaying uniform reciprocity between brightness and illumination time for exposures ranging from a fraction of a second to several hours. The effects of the operating cycle, scan rate, and scene content upon system performance is discussed. The tradeoff between present tube design and performance is examined as are future plans and prospects.
