Abstract
In an X-ray image intensifier consisting of a scintillator screen associated with a photocathode, an electron-optical system and an output screen on which a strong visible image appears, resolution is improved by providing the scintillator screen, formed by a layer of cesium iodide doped with sodium deposited onto the substrate, a structure of needles approximately micrometers in diameter which are kept in the form of separate needles during the subsequent heat treatment by virtue of the presence of silicon oxide in the cesium iodide lattice.
