This "image dissector" drawing would become legally important years later.

Interviewer: The image dissector was used to send shots back from the moon to earth.

This tube is a combination of the image dissector and the Emitron.

Farnsworth submitted a patent application for the image dissector on January 7, 1927.

Disk scanners share a major limitation with the Farnsworth image dissector.

Philo called his invention an "image dissector"; his teacher kept this drawing.

Stars were observed as the satellite rotated, by a sensitive region of the image dissector tube detector.

Some image dissector cameras were used to broadcast the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.

Farnsworth called his device an image dissector because it converted individual elements of the image into electricity one at a time.

The optical system of the image dissector focuses an image onto a photocathode mounted inside a high vacuum.

However, the Image Dissector camera was found to be lacking in light sensitivity, requiring excessive levels of illumination.

-600 V), and is converted into an electron image (a principle borrowed from the image dissector).

Eventually, Farnsworth moved to Salt Lake City and began efforts to raise funds to develop his idea for the "image dissector."

Unlike the Farnsworth image dissector, the Zworykin model was much more sensitive, useful with an illumination on the target between 4foot-candle (43lux) and 20foot-candle (215lux).

Farnsworth also developed the "image oscillite", a cathode ray tube that displayed the images captured by the image dissector.

Farnsworth moved to Salt Lake and met George Everson who helped him obtain financial backing to further develop his image dissector.

Germany experiments with a flying bomb guided by a television camera, created by Fernseh, using both the Superikonoscope and the Farnsworth image dissector.

The image dissector scanned well, but had poor light sensitivity compared to the Marconi-EMI Iconoscopes, dubbed called "Emitrons".

A combination of the image dissector and the orthicon technologies, it replaced the iconoscope and the orthicon, which required a great deal of light to work adequately.

Similarly, Philo T. Farnsworth's electronic "Image Dissector" camera was available to Baird's company via a patent-sharing agreement.

September 7 - Philo Farnsworth's electronic image dissector television camera tube transmits its first image at his laboratory at 202 Green Street in San Francisco.

On September 7 of that year, the image dissector successfully transmitted its first image, a simple straight line, at Farnsworth's laboratory at 202 Green Street in San Francisco.

In April 1933, Farnsworth submitted a patent application entitled Image Dissector, but which actually detailed a cathode ray tube (CRT) camera tube.

Dubbed the Iconoscope by Zworykin, the new tube had a light sensitivity of about 75,000 lux, and thus was claimed to be much more sensitive than Farnsworth's image dissector.

On August 25, 1934, Farnsworth gave the world's first public demonstration of a complete, all-electronic television system, which included his image dissector, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
