Necessity of infrared imaging has been recognized in a lot of regions of scientific, industorial and artistic imaging fields. But the resolutions of infrared image devices are not enough for obtaining correct information and Precise data for some applications We have developed a high resolution infrared vidicon by combining the newly improved PbO/PbS target with an MS electrode (deflectron) and a diode mode gun. The key feature of the tube, high resolution (1,000 TV lines at center and 900 TV lines at corner measured by a HDTV system), is enough for the specification for those applications.
