Plumbicon

Video camera tube

The video camera tube was a type of cathode ray tube used to capture the television image prior to the introduction of charge-coupled devices in the mid to late 1980s.

The resultant current was dependent on the brightness of the image on the target. The size of the impinging ray was tiny compared to the size of the target, allowing 483 horizontal scan lines per image.
