Abstract
IN the Spectracon1 electronographic image tube, in the form now used for spectrographic recording, the image area is restricted to a rectangle 30 mm × 5 mm to enable a very thin (4 µm) mica Lenard window to be used which will support not only atmospheric pressure but also the pressure required to keep the electron-sensitive emulsion in intimate contact with the external mica surface when recording the image electrons.
