New Technology Provides Superior-Performance Plumbicon® Tubes for EFP and ENG Cameras

Ad Franken

Three new Plumbicon® tubes, which are completely different from conventional all-magnetic tubes, are discussed. The XQ4087 is an ultra-light 11mm high-stability diode gun tube based on a new electron-optical system with an accelerating-focusing lens. The XQ4187 is an 18mm version with excellent registration and low lag, weight, and power consumption. These tubes are compared with the 18mm XQ3457 magnetic-static tube incorporating magnetic focusing and electro-static deflection.
