Abstract
An imaging tube in which an image, particularly in middle infrared, is guided onto a mosaic of electrically separate semiconductor elements, and in which energy then applied to the mosaic produces electrons with characteristics reflecting whether the portion of the mosaic from which they emanated had been struck by energy defining the image, the electrons produced then being gated in accordance with the characteristics; and in particular in which the mosaic is carried on a substrate through which the image is introduced to the tube.
