The Saticon™ Color Television Camera Tube

The Saticon is a vidicon-type camera tube with a Selenium—Arsenic — Tellurium photo-conductor. The tube was developed specifically for small high-performance color television cameras, but has proven useful for many other television-camera applications. The photo-conductor represents an improvement in resolution, stability, and reduction of optical flare over the presently used lead oxide photoconductors. The Saticon employs a new gun structure specifically designed to produce improved registration and registration stability in color cameras, and to reduce the lag of the tube.
