摘要:
The separating layer (18) between the luminescent layer (16) and the photocathode (20) of the entrance screen (10) in an X-ray image intensifier tube (1) is formed by a layer which has a suitable optical transmission, a suitable chemical inertia, a suitable tightness and a strongly bridging character and which is deposited by means of a plasma CVD technique, so that all requirements to be imposed on a separating layer can be satisfied without causing a substantial loss of efficiency. By variation of the material composition, measured across the thickness of the layer, an optimum optical transition can be realized between the luminescent layer and the photocathode.
