Electron gun from a cathode ray tube
Electron gun from a cathode ray tube

An electron gun is a component that produces an electron beam that has a precise kinetic energy, being used in televisions and monitors which use cathode ray tube technology, and in other instruments, as electron microscopes and particle accelerators. The cathode ray tube (CRT is a Vacuum tube containing an Electron gun (a source of electrons and a Fluorescent screen with internal or Cathode rays (also called an electron beam or e-beam) are streams of Electrons observed in Vacuum tubes i The kinetic energy of an object is the extra Energy which it possesses due to its motion Television ( TV) is a widely used Telecommunication medium for sending ( Broadcasting) and receiving moving Images, either monochromatic A visual display unit, often called simply a monitor or display, is a piece of Electrical equipment which displays images generated from the Video The cathode ray tube (CRT is a Vacuum tube containing an Electron gun (a source of electrons and a Fluorescent screen with internal or An electron microscope is a type of Microscope that uses Electrons to illuminate a specimen and create an enlarged image Electron guns can be classified in several ways: by the type of electric field generation (DC or RF), by emission mechanism (thermionic, photocathode, cold emission, plasma source), by focusing (pure electrostatic or with magnetic fields), and by a number of electrodes.

A DC, electrostatic thermionic electron gun is formed of several parts: a hot cathode, which is heated to create a stream of electrons via thermionic emission, electrodes generating an electric field which focus the beam—such as a Wehnelt cylinder—and one or more anode electrodes which accelerate and further focus the electrons. Hot cathode is also a name for a Hot filament ionization gauge, a vacuum measuring device The electron is a fundamental Subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J Thermionic emission is the flow of Charge carriers from a surface or over some other kind of Electrical potential barrier caused by thermal vibrational energy In Physics, the space surrounding an Electric charge or in the presence of a time-varying Magnetic field has a property called an electric field (that can A Wehnelt cylinder is an Electrode in the Electron gun assembly of some thermionic devices used for focusing and control of the Electron beam. An anode is an Electrode through which Electric current flows into a polarized electrical device A large voltage between cathode and anode accelerates the electrons. A repulsive ring placed between them focuses the electrons onto a small spot on the anode on the expense of a lower extraction field strength on the cathode surface. Often at this spot is a hole, so that the electrons pass through the anode forming a collimated beam and finally reach a second anode called a collector. This arrangement is similar to a Einzel lens. The Einzel lens is used in Ion optics to focus Ions in flight and is accomplished through manipulation of the Electric field in the path of the ions

Likewise one type of an ion gun consists of a cylinder, where gas enters from one end face, electron bombardment from the side walls, and an extraction voltage from the other end face. An ion source is an electro-magnetic device that is used to create charged particles The cage has the role of the cathode, an extractor has the role of the anode, and an unnamed ring as the role of the Wehnelt cylinder.

Most colour cathode ray tubes—as those used in colour television - are made up of three electron guns, each one producing a different stream of electrons. The cathode ray tube (CRT is a Vacuum tube containing an Electron gun (a source of electrons and a Fluorescent screen with internal or Each stream travels through a shadow mask where the electrons will impinge upon either a red, green or blue phosphor to light up a colour dot of a pixel of the screen, the resultant colour being a combination of these three. The shadow mask is one of two major technologies used to manufacture Cathode ray tube (CRT Televisions and Computer displays that produce Color A phosphor is a substance that exhibits the phenomenon of Phosphorescence (sustained glowing after exposure to energized particles such as Electrons In Digital imaging, a pixel ( pict ure el ement is the smallest piece of information in an image

An electron gun can be used to ionise particles by adding or removing electrons from the atom. The electron is a fundamental Subatomic particle that was identified and assigned the negative charge in 1897 by J Ionization is the physical process of converting an Atom or Molecule into an Ion by adding or removing charged particles such as Electrons History See also Atomic theory, Atomism The concept that matter is composed of discrete units and cannot be divided into arbitrarily tiny This technology is sometimes used in mass spectrometry in a process called electron ionisation to ionise vaporised or gaseous particles. Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that identifies the chemical composition of a compound or sample based on the Mass-to-charge ratio of charged particles Electron ionization ( EI, formerly known as electron impact) is an Ionization technique widely used in Mass spectrometry, particularly for Evaporation is the process by which Molecules in a Liquid state (e This page is about the physical properties of gas as a state of matter
