    Abstract: Apparatus for X-ray radiography includes a conductive cathode, receiving X-radiation differentially attenuated by passage through an object to be studied, and a conductive anode spaced from the cathode and bearing a sheet of insulative material upon which a charge image of the object is to be formed; and a structured photocathode extending from the cathode towards the anode. The photocathode, formed of cesium iodide and the like, is of relative great thickness and surface area to have large X-ray quantum absorption and photoelectron emission, whereby a lower exposure dosage of X-radiation is required for a radiographic exposure. A plurality of different photocathode structures are disclosed.

    Abstract: A mounting means is provided for substantially electrically isolating an electrode assembly of a photomultiplier from the inner surface wall of a glass envelope. The electrode assembly also includes an electrode focussing means for substantially preventing divergent electrons from impinging on electrode support spacers. The combination substantially eliminates the operational electrical instability known as hysteresis.

    Abstract: A photomultiplier tube (PMT) converts a received light signal to an output electrical signal of substantially greater intensity by employing a photocathode to convert incident light to free electrons, a plural dynode accelerating structure for effectively multiplying said free electrons, and an impact ionization diode (IID) for further multiplying and collecting said free electrons to provide a corresponding electrical output signal. The PMT can be an electrostatic device, in which the photocathode and the dynodes are mounted in opposed staggered positions, or a static crossed field device, in which the photocathode and the dynodes all are mounted opposite an accelerating rail and a magnetic field is provided to urge the electrons laterally along the tube. The IID''s junction is reverse biased and the entire diode is maintained at a substantially higher potential than the last dynode. The PMT can be gain controlled or turned off without affecting dynode potentials by controlling the IID''s potential. Due to the gain provided by the IID, dynode current can be reduced greatly, thereby to increase substantially the tube''s life without affecting its overall gain.
