AN ELECTRONIC FRAMING CAMERA FOR MILLIMICROSECOND PHOTOGRAPHY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4214063
The design of an electronic camera is described which sets it apart from the high-speed photegraphic techniques. It transforms the shuttering problem from the mechanical realm to the control of an electron beam. The acceleration of the electrons provides a mechanism for putting energy into the image. An image converter can produce an image of greater intensity than the object being photographed and there is no mechanical motion involved in the taking of a picture. The camera is always ready to take a picture and can be triggered from the event to be photographed. These facts, together with the flexibility and ease of operation of this camera, make it an extremely valuable research tool. ( auth)
