Work at Imperial College on Image Intensifiers with Transmitted Secondary Electron Multiplication

Journal Article · · IRE Transactions on Nuclear Science
The construction and properties of some magnetically focused image intensifiers incorporating potassium chloride films as transmitted secondary electron multiplying dynodes are described. Tubes were prepared with five dynodes which gave a total electron multiplication of the order of 3000. Single electrons leaving the cathode of these tubes gave rise to scintillations at the output phosphor with diameters of about 40 μ , which were bright enough to be photographed.
