摘要:
Image intensifier device and method for image intensification in which a bundle of ionizing radiation containing an intelligence pattern impinges upon a fluorescent layer of an anode luminary structure to produce fluorescence and whose fluorescent output excites the further emission of photons from an adjacent image intensifier structure of the solid state type, the latter being connected in series with a unipotential source of high voltage and high frequency and said high voltage effecting further light emission from said intensifier structure, said unipotential source being further connected to a conducting layer of said fluorescent anode and to an actuating relay in a series arrangement such that said unipotential of high frequency is released to said image intensifier in an instantaneous ''''surge flow'''' concurrent with the transmission of the ionizing bundle through the face of an evacuated tube containing said fluorescing anode luminary unit and said image intensifier structure in cascade arrangement and further; said image intensifier being connected to a source of high alternating field frequency to further activate said image intensifier to produce light emission and an intensified image therefrom; the said activation being due to excitation of a dielectric layer so that the ionizing bundle evokes ''''charge transport'''' therethrough to an adjoining radiation-transparent opaque layer, and a photoelectroluminescent phosphor layer, said activation being reinforced by the concurrently applied high voltage potentials to the conductor boundary layers of said intensifier structure, to produce a stored conductivity pattern upon an image target having a longtime storage function for scansion by a cathode-ray beam of electrons, said pattern being a replica of the original image inherent in the ionizing bundle of rays.
