Abstract
An electron gun structure for a pickup tube comprises a cathode lens electrode assembly, a beam disc electrode and a main lens electrode assembly. The main lens electrode assembly includes first and second electrodes adapted to be supplied with different potentials so as to form a bipotential electron lens in the main lens electrode assembly. The beam disc electrode which has a beam limiting hole is adapted to be supplied with a potential not higher than about 2.5 times the lower one of the potentials to be supplied to the first and second electrodes in the main lens electrode assembly.
