McGee, J D; Evans, H D

A radiation detector capable of indicating the radiation intensity pattern over an area instantaneously instead of line by line was invented for observing movement of radioactive tracers, e.g., in biological systems. The detector comprises three layers, the first and third being phosphors and the second a photoemissive material; and between the second and third layers there is an electron multiplying grid electrode plurality forming channels. In this detector, a radiation image is divided into elements by the channels and reconstructed into a visual image on the third layer. (D.L.C.)
