  • Abstract
    Image orthicons and vidicons have been improved substantially to fulfill requirements for better TV broadcasting. The advantages of ``micromesh´´ and ``super-dynodes´´ are explained and the performance characteristics of a new image orthicon with very high photocathode sensitivity described. Recommendations concerning studio practices to obtain best black-and-white and color pictures are presented.
