Preferred Label : vidicon;
IUPAC definition : A vacuum tube containing a photosensitive area, or target, and an electron gun to
read the signal from the target. The silicon target consists of a two-dimensional
array of Si-photodiodes having a common cathode and isolated anodes. irradiation of
the target causes the production of electron-hole pairs which, by recombination, leads
to a depletion of the surface charge.;
