An optical image focused upon a uniform photoelectric surface produces an electron emission from each point proportional to the intensity of the light at that point. If all of the electrons emitted from the surface are drawn away from it, such a discharge is classifiable as an electron image. The image, however, is sharp only in the plane of the cathode. In order that the electron image may be scanned by deflecting it over a small aperture, the correspondence to the optical image must be present at a suitable distance from the cathode. There are several possible methods f6r fulfilling this requirement. Referring to Fig. I, if all of the electrons leaving point" P" on a cathode, could be constrained to travel parallel to one another, then any transverse section of the beam would represent a perfect electron image. For all electron paths to be parallel there must be no component of transverse velocity. The photoelectrons, however, are emitted with random velocities, ranging from zero to a volt or more.
