Pulse image-converter tube, model PIM-105 is designed to record fast processes in multiframe photography mode of continuos-scan mode.
The tube can be used for research in plasma physics, nuclear physics, quantum electronics, high-voltage break-down physics, biology and other fields of science and technology.
The image converter tube has a low-voltage shutter implemented as a HF transmission line formed by photocathode and grid electrode an electrostatic focusing system, two pairs of mutually perpendicular scanning plates, a luminescent screen deposited on a fiber-optic plate. Shutter and scanning systems are provided with 50-Ohm coaxial connectors.
HF design of shutter and scanning systems allows nano- and subnanosecond frames to be generated. If required, the converter can be equipped with a built-in brightness amplifier on either one or two cascaded microchannel plates.
