Abstract
THE use of transmitted secondary electron emission for electron multiplication has been proposed by Lubszynski1, McGee2 and Sternglass3, and photoemissive image intensifiera incorporating thin films of potassium chloride as transmitted secondary emitters have been described by Wachtel, Doughty and Anderson4. We also have been experimenting with the construction of image intensifiers of this kind.
