An Apparatus for Measuring the Characteristics of the High-Speed Image Converter Cameras Operating in the Range of Soft X-Rays and Vacuum UV

A pumped vacuum apparatus is described that contains an electron gun with an adjustable high-voltage voltage source, interchangeable metal targets, and flanges to which the object under study is connected. The apparatus is especially designed to measure the spatial and temporal characteristics of high-speed image converter streak cameras that operate in the soft X-ray range. It can be used for research and measurements in the design of soft X-ray photodetectors and their main parts, for example, microprobe detectors, imaging devices, solid-state linear and matrix photodetectors, photoemitters operating in vacuum, etc.
