1. Electron gun

   An electron gun (also called electron emitter) is an electrical component in some vacuum tubes that produces a narrow, collimated electron beam that has a precise kinetic energy. The largest use is in cathode-ray tubes (CRTs), used in nearly all television sets, computer displays and oscilloscopes that are not flat-panel displays. They are also used in field-emission displays (FEDs), which are essentially flat-panel displays made out of rows of extremely small cathode-ray tubes. They are also used in microwave linear beam vacuum tubes such as klystrons, inductive output tubes, travelling wave tubes, and gyrotrons, as well as in scientific instruments such as electron microscopes and particle accelerators. Electron guns may be classified by the type of electric field generation (DC or RF), by emission mechanism (thermionic, photocathode, cold emission, plasmas source), by focusing (pure electrostatic or with magnetic fields), or by the number of electrodes.

1. electron gun

   An electron gun is a device used to produce a beam of electrons by thermionic emission or field emission. It comprises various components like a heater, cathode, control grid, focusing anode, and a perforated anode, which are specifically designed to control the intensity, spread, and focus of the electrons. Electron guns are commonly used in a variety of applications such as television sets, computer monitors, oscilloscopes, and electron microscopes.

1. Electron gun

   An electron gun is an electrical component that produces an electron beam that has a precise kinetic energy and is most often used in television sets and computer displays that use cathode ray tube technology, as well as in other instruments, such as electron microscopes and particle accelerators. Electron guns may be classified in several ways: ⁕by the type of electric field generation, ⁕by emission mechanism, ⁕by focusing, or ⁕by the number of electrodes.
