Development of an Image Isocon with Fiber Optics Faceplate.

Abstract

The uniform magnetic focus field version of the image isocon was initiated as a fresh approach to the problem of building an image isocon which could be used commercially. This contract had two objectives. The first objective was to develop a sturdy 3 in image isocon with fibre-optic faceplate which could be coupled to an image intensifier with a P20 phosphor screen. The second objective, by extension of the contract, was to provide the same tube structure with a black rise control element added to the image mount structure. This element, designed to extend the lighting range in image orthicon broadcast work, was adapted to improve the highlight handling capability of the image isocon. (Author)
