TV image generator using charge transfer devices - requires formation of sub-images for focussing onto charge transfer devices

摘要

The matrix of charge transfer devices is used in the production of TV images in medical and industrial radiological industries. This enables the conventional tube to be replaced by a longer life device. A tube assembly (100) splits the image into several sub images by a lens (30) and sever semi-reflecting blades (31.32,33). These are separately focussed by another lens (41,42,43) onto a matrix of transfer charge devices (51,52,53). Each separate beam is shifted such that they comprise a total image. The image is reconstituted by an electronic circuit (60). A number of cameras are utilised and operate in synchronism to minmise the transfer time necessary for each camera. The system may be used with a digital processing system in which data is stored and subsequently reconstituted.
