cathode-ray oscilloscope -> oscilloscope

A system in which a supplied signal causes the deflection of the electron beam in a cathode-ray tube, thus forming a visible trace on the phosphor screen of the tube and providing for examination of...

cathode-ray tube pattern

The luminous trace formed on the cathode-ray tube screen by the motion of the electron beam.

cathode-ray tube

A vacuum tube with an electron gun at one end and a fluorescent screen at the other. Electrons emitted from a heated filament are accelerated by a series of annular anodes at progressively higher...

character generator

Computer hardware or firmware that accesses character patterns stored in read-only memory and displays them at specific coordinates on a screen.

cine fluorography

The application of a cine camera in recording the images on a fluorescent screen. When x-rays are used to produce the screen images, this process is referred to as cine-radiography.

cineradiography

The photographic filming of the action of x-ray images recorded on a fluorescent screen by means of large lens apertures and highly sensitive filters.

computer-output microfilm system

A camera system capable of producing microfilm copies of computerized data presented on a screen.

contact fluorography

A fluorographic method whereby the sensitive photographic medium is pressed against a fluorescent screen to form a visible image.

contour projector

An inspection device in which the profile of a mechanical part is projected onto a ground-glass screen at a precisely known magnification so that the shape of the part can be compared with a scale...

CRT -> cathode-ray tube

A vacuum tube with an electron gun at one end and a fluorescent screen at the other. Electrons emitted from a heated filament are accelerated by a series of annular anodes at progressively higher...
