Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 110))

Abstract

The electrographic (E.G.) camera is one of the most powerful modern detectors having high sensitivity, extended spectral response, extreme spatial resolution, low background, no threshold, good linearity and large dynamic image. A combination of highly uniform electric and magnetic fields produces distortion-free and extremely sharp images which are recorded by electron sensitive emulsions [1] (Figure 1).
