RAD170 Chapter 40 Matching
What does the output phosphor do? |
converts 1 photoelectron to 3000 light photons |
What is minification gain? How is it calculated? |
increased brightness from conentrating photons
(input phosphor diameter)^2/(output phosphor diameter)^2 |
What is flux gain? How is it calculated? |
increased brightness from photoelectron acceleration
# of output photons/# of input photons |
What are the charge & voltage of the electrostatic focusing lenses? |
What does the anode do? How? |
attracts photoelectrons because of positive charge |
What happens at the focal point? |
Automatic Brightness Control - maintains image brightness by adjusting technique automatically |
charge-coupled device - semiconductor that stores the charge from light photons |
How do you calculate total brightness gain? |
flux gain x minification gain |
What do the electrostatic focusing lenses do? |
focus photoelectrons and accelerate them towards the anode |
