Publisher's Synopsis
The 10th Symposium on Photoelectronic Image Devices was held at Imperial College, University of London, on 2-6 September 1991. Covering the latest developments and applications of detectors and systems, this volume contains 52 papers from leading international researchers. It is divided into the following sections: Astronomical applications; image intensifiers, design and characterisation; scientific applications; techniques, camera tubes and electron optics. The performance and assessment of detector systems are also discussed. This research level volume has applications over an enormous range of disciplines. It will be of interest and value to researchers both developing and using photoelectronic detectors in academic, government and industrial laboratories, working in the areas of nuclear and particle physics, astronomy, space science, medicine, telecommunications and military applications.
