Vidicon tube 2 ⁄ 3 inch (17 mm) in diameter A display of numerous video camera tubes from the 1930s and 1940s, photographed in 1954, with iconoscope inventor Vladimir K. Zworykin. Video camera tubes are devices based on the cathode-ray tube that were used in television cameras to capture television images, prior to the introduction of charge ...

A Farnsworth image dissector tube. An image dissector, also called a dissector tube, is a video camera tube in which photocathode emissions create an "electron image" which is then swept up, down and across an anode to produce an electrical signal representing the visual image.
Two iconoscope tubes. The type 1849 (top) was the common tube used in studio television cameras. The camera's lens focused the image through the tube's transparent "window" (right) and onto the dark rectangular "target" surface visible inside. The type 1847 (bottom) was a smaller version.
The aims of the designers of the camera were, firstly, to produce a camera that was more tolerant to mis-registration and, secondly, to achieve a lighter camera by using smaller vidicon tubes to replace some of the large heavy IO tubes. The camera had an image orthicon tube for the luminance channel and three vidicon tubes for the colour ...
But the magnetic focusing for video camera tubes invented by Farnsworth in 1928 --via a long focusing coil placed along the tube-- survived the image orthicon era and it was a main ingredient in the vidicon and similar tubes; see the vidicon's diagram in the article.
Both cameras are slow-scan vidicon tubes with a selenium sulphur storage surface, and are fitted with eight colored filters mounted on a filter wheel in front of the tube. Pale Blue Dot was taken with the narrow-angle camera, a 1500 mm f/8.5 catadioptric cassegrain telescope whose design was based on the 1973 Mariner mission. [13] [14] [15]
