Video camera tubes in the early days of television used the photoelectric effect, for example, Philo Farnsworth's " Image dissector " used a screen charged by the photoelectric effect to transform an optical image into a scanned electronic signal.

Although he made many contributions that were crucial to the early development of all-electronic television, he is perhaps best known for inventing the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device ( video camera tube ), the " image dissector ", the first fully functional and complete all-electronic television system, and for being the first person to demonstrate such a system to the public.

* Germany experiments with a flying bomb guided by a television camera, created by Fernseh, using both the Superikonoscope and the Farnsworth image dissector.

Behind this grid system, an image dissector tube ( photomultiplier type detector ) with a sensitive field of view of about 38 arc-sec diameter converted the modulated light into a sequence of photon counts ( with a sampling frequency of 1200 Hz ) from which the phase of the entire pulse train from a star could be derived.

Other hardware components were supplied as follows: the beam-combining mirror from REOSC at Saint Pierre du Perray ; the spherical, folding and relay mirrors from Carl Zeiss AG in Oberkochen ; the external straylight baffles from CASA in Madrid ; the modulating grid from CSEM in Neuchatel ; the mechanism control system and the thermal control electronics from Dornier Satellite Systems in Friedrichshafen ; optical filters, the experiment structures and the attitude and orbit control system from Matra Marconi Space in Velizy ; instrument switching mechanisms from Oerlikon-Contraves in Zurich ; the image dissector tube and photomultiplier detectors assembled by the Dutch Space Research Organisation, SRON in The Netherlands ; the refocusing assembly mechanism designed by TNO-TPD in Delft ; the electrical power subsystem from British Aerospace in Bristol ; the structure and reaction control system from Daimler-Benz Aerospace in Bremen ; the solar arrays and thermal control system from Fokker Space System in Leiden ; the data handling and telecommunications system from Saab Ericsson Space in Gothenburg ; and the apogee boost motor from SEP in France.

All-electronic designs based on the cathode ray tube, such as Vladimir Zworykin's Iconoscope and Philo T. Farnsworth's Image dissector, supplanted the Baird system by the 1940s and remained in wide use until the 1980s, when cameras based on solid-state image sensors such as CCDs ( and later CMOS active pixel sensors ) eliminated common problems with tube technologies such as image burn-in and made digital video workflow practical.

An image dissector is a camera tube that creates an " electron image " of a scene from photocathode emissions ( electrons ) which pass through a scanning aperture to an anode, which serves as an electron detector.

The term may apply specifically to a dissector tube employing magnetic fields to keep the electron image in focus, an element lacking in Dieckmann and Hell's design, and in the early dissector tubes built by American inventor Philo Farnsworth.

Their experiments on the image dissector were announced in the volume 8 ( September 1927 ) of the popular magazine Discovery and in the May 1928 issue of the magazine Popular Radio.

The introduction of a multipactor in October 1933 and a multi-dynode " electron multiplier " in 1937 made Farnsworth's image dissector the first practical version of a fully electronic imaging device for television.

The optical system of the image dissector focuses an image onto a photocathode mounted inside a high vacuum.

Unlike the Farnsworth image dissector, the Zworykin iconoscope was much more sensitive, useful with an illumination on the target between 4ft-c ( 43lx ) and 20ft-c ( 215lx ).

This tube is a combination of the image dissector and the Emitron.

The production and commercialization of the super-Emitron and image iconoscope in Europe were not affected by the patent war between Zworykin and Farnsworth, because Dieckmann and Hell had priority in Germany for the invention of the image dissector, having submitted a patent application for their Lichtelektrische Bildzerlegerröhre für Fernseher ( Photoelectric Image Dissector Tube for Television ) in Germany in 1925, two years before Farnsworth did the same in the United States.

Hence, thought of as a line in a particular plane **yp, any tangent to Q has a unique image and moreover this image is the same for all planes through L.

Since C is rational, this correspondence has K coincidences, each of which implies a line of the pencil which meets its image.

For any pencil in a plane containing a Af-fold secant of **zg has an image regulus which meets the plane of the pencil in Af lines, namely the images of the lines of the pencil which pass through the intersection of **zg and the multiple secant, plus an additional component to account for the intersections of the images of the general lines of the pencil.

For every group G there is a natural group homomorphism G → Aut ( G ) whose image is the group Inn ( G ) of inner automorphisms and whose kernel is the center of G. Thus, if G has trivial center it can be embedded into its own automorphism group.

We observe first that no line, l, can meet its image except at one of its intersections with Q.

A final class of exceptional lines is identifiable from the following considerations: Since no two generators of Af can intersect, it follows that their image curves can have no free intersections.

We receive, therefore, in no single intercepting plane behind the system, as, for example, a focusing screen, an image of the object point ; on the other hand, in each of two planes lines O ' and O " are separately formed ( in neighboring planes ellipses are formed ), and in a plane between O ' and O " a circle of least confusion.
