Abstract
An apparatus for electrically insulating viewing windows in an image intensifier tube is disclosed. The mechanical parts which are located close to the window are electrically insulated with the metal parts being held at a high voltage and electrically insulated on the outside of the image intensifier by an insulating screen. The insulating screen includes electrically conductive layer 36 and an insulating layer 37 which separates the metal parts 20, 26 from the conductive layer. The conductive layer also forms an equipotential layer which is opposite the metal parts and thereby 'freezes' the distribution of the electrical lines of force in the insulating screen 35.
