Abstract
Apparatus for X-ray radiography includes a conductive cathode, receiving X-radiation differentially attenuated by passage through an object to be studied, and a conductive anode spaced from the cathode and bearing a sheet of insulative material upon which a charge image of the object is to be formed; and a structured photocathode extending from the cathode towards the anode. The photocathode, formed of cesium iodide and the like, is of relative great thickness and surface area to have large X-ray quantum absorption and photoelectron emission, whereby a lower exposure dosage of X-radiation is required for a radiographic exposure. A plurality of different photocathode structures are disclosed.
