IMAGE CAMERA TUBE [19 records]

Record 1 2020-12-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Optical Instruments
CONT

Passive night vision devices work by sending light through a lens, an image intensifying tube, and another lens. Light enters through a lens called the objective lens, which is similar to a fine camera lens. The lens focuses the light into the image intensifier tube.

OBS

[Passive night vision devices] operate by amplifying the existing background light; the moon, stars, street lights, and so on, by several thousand times ...

Subject field(s)
  • Surgery
  • Liver and Biliary Ducts
DEF

Removal of the gallbladder by laparoscopy.

CONT

The laparoscopic cholecystectomy involves the insertion of a long narrow cylindrical tube with a camera on the end, through an approximately 1 cm incision in the abdomen, which allows visualization of the internal organs and projection of this image onto a video monitor. Three smaller incisions allow for insertion of other instruments to perform the surgical procedure. A laser may be used for the incision and cautery(burning unwanted tissue to stop bleeding), in which case the procedure may be called laser laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Key term(s)
  • coelioscopic cholecystectomy
  • laparoscopic chole-cystectomy
  • celioscopic chole-cystectomy
  • coelioscopic chole-cystectomy

French

Domaine(s)
  • Chirurgie
  • Foie et voies biliaires
CONT

La cholécystectomie par laparoscopie consiste à pratiquer quatre petites incisions de 1 cm (1/2 po) sur l'abdomen, dont une au niveau du nombril, afin de permettre au médecin d'introduire les instruments nécessaires pour l'opération. Le chirurgien y insère le laparoscope, c'est-à-dire une lentille et des lumières puissantes reliées à une caméra. Cette caméra est elle-même reliée à un téléviseur qui permet au chirurgien de visualiser l'intérieur de l'abdomen sur l'écran. Il gonfle l'abdomen avec du gaz carbonique afin de bien voir la vésicule biliaire à l'intérieur. Il peut par la suite procéder à l'intervention avec d'autres instruments qui sont insérés dans les orifices. Lorsque l'intervention est terminée, le chirurgien laisse échapper le gaz et retire les instruments.

  • cholé-cystectomie par laparoscopie

Subject field(s)
  • Scientific Instruments
  • Medical and Surgical Equipment
CONT

The drawing apparatus does not project an image originating from the microscope, it rather adds an external image, that of the drawing, to the one normally observed in the microscope eyepiece.... The drawing attachment described here fits easily between the binocular tube and the tube support of a Wild compound microscope. It is a tubular piece, protruding horizontally to the left or the right hand of the observer.... Similar "drawing tubes" for camera lucida viewing with stereomicroscopes are also available. Because each ocular in the stereomicroscope produces an image of the specimen from a different angle, both images together give the impression of 3D-vision, but obviously, the drawing picked up from the drawing tube can be superimposed with only one of the two members of the stereopair.

CONT

Le détecteur de photons le plus commun est le phototube. Il est constitué d’une cathode semi-cylindrique et d’une anode filiforme fixées dans une enveloppe transparente scellée sous vide. La surface concave de la cathode est recouverte d’une couche de matériel photoémetteur, tel un métal alcalin ou un oxyde métallique, qui émet des électrons lorsqu’il est irradié. Le tube photomultiplicateur est un autre type de détecteur de photon.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Television (Radioelectricity)
DEF

A camera tube in which a charge image corresponding to the optical image input grows in magnitude on the target until neutralised by the scanning beam.

OBS

This occurs in all the camera tubes such as the iconoscope, image iconoscope, orthicon, image orthicon and vidicon which have been successfully used in television services. Storage occurs by virtue of the capacitance of the target and it brings about a considerable increase in the sensitivity of the tube. In fact it was not until the advantage of the storage principle was appreciated that tubes sensitive enough for use in television services became possible.

Until recently, electrooptical imaging sensors have provided the most commonly used "eyes" for industrial robots and visual inspection. Standard television cameras, using vidicons, plumbicons, and silicon target vidicons, have interfaced with a computer and have provided the least expensive and most easily available imaging sensors.

"Vidicon refers to the camera tube(earlier cameras, e. g. RCA-52) whereas the term "target" refers to that part of the tube on which the electron image is formed.
