Abstract :
A personalized account of the development of television pickup devices during the period 1930-1976 is related by a research worker active in the field since 1942. The story begins with the iconoscope and image dissector tubes and concludes with solid-state sensors of the CCD and CID variety. While the development is technical, the details have been minimized to provide a more comprehensive view.
