Method for converting images of external energy effects into an electric signal and electron-beam vacuum device

摘要

An image of external radiation is recorded onto an amplifying microchannel plate (3) connected to a supply voltage source (4) and is read from the side opposite the record side by scanning with an electron beam at current strength, providing the introduction of the plate channels in the saturation condition, and the recording of the image on a flat collecting electrode (5) made as a fine-structured grid and disposed at the readout side of the microchannel plate.
