 Cathode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diagram of a copper cathode in a Daniell's cell.
In a galvanic cell, the cathode is where the positive pole is connected to allow the circuit to be completed: as the anode of the galvanic cell gives off electrons, they return from the circuit into the cell through the cathode.
In a semiconductor diode, the cathode is the N–doped layer of the PN junction.

 Cathode ray tube - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cathode ray tube or CRT, invented by Karl Ferdinand Braun, is the display device that was traditionally used in most computer displays, video monitors, televisions, radar displays and oscilloscopes.
The first version to use a hot cathode was developed by J. Johnson (who gave his name to the term Johnson noise) and H. Weinhart of Western Electric and became a commercial product in 1922.
Cathode rays exist in the form of streams of high speed electrons emitted from the heating of cathode inside a vacuum tube at its rear end.

 X Ray - MSN Encarta
X rays were discovered accidentally in 1895 by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen while he was studying cathode rays in a high-voltage, gaseous-discharge tube.
Both light and X rays are produced by transitions of electrons that orbit atoms, light by the transitions of outer electrons and X rays by the transitions of inner electrons.
If the emitted X rays are passed through an X-ray spectrometer, certain distinct lines are found superimposed on the continuous spectrum; these lines, known as the characteristic X rays, represent wavelengths that depend only on the structure of the target atoms.

 Introduction to Gas Discharge Tubes and Cold Cathode X-ray Tubes
Many of the electrons (originally referred to as cathode rays) accelerating towards the end of the tube where the anode was located picked up sufficient kinetic energy to cause further ionization of the residual gas.
The cathode rays streamed past the anode and struck the glass end of the tube which served as the source of the x-rays.
In this configuration, the anode served as the target of the cathode rays and the source of the x-rays.

 Mysterious Rays   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
But when the German physicist Heinrich Hertz passed the rays through an electric field created by metal plates inside a cathode ray tube, the rays were not deflected in the way that would be expected of electrically charged particles.
When Lenard passed cathode rays through a metal foil and measured how far they traveled through various gases, he concluded that if these were particles, they had to be very small.
Cathode rays are not only material particles, he suggested, but in fact the building blocks of the atom: they are the long-sought basic unit of all matter in the universe.

 cathode ray - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about cathode ray
Stream of fast-moving electrons that travel from a cathode (negative electrode) towards an anode (positive electrode) in a vacuum tube.
Cathode rays focused into fine beams of fast electrons are used in cathode-ray tubes, the electrons' kinetic energy being converted into light energy as they collide with the tube's fluorescent screen.

 MONTEST-LCD monitor tester, Video Primer, Cathode Ray Tube CRT
The CRT was designed in the 1920's and although several changes have been made to the original design, the changes to the basic structure have been relatively minor.
Located closest to the heated cathode is a round disc, approximately the size and the shape of a dime with a small hole in the center.
Because of its closeness to the cathode, this control grid, when charged to a small (3-5 volt) negative potential, will deflect electrons back toward the cathode and prevent the beam from entering the focus and accelerating subsystem.

 Cathode-ray tube   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
CRT consists of the glass bulb evacuated to a high vacuum, the cathode (a source of electrons), cathode heater, electrodes for brightness and focus control, several accelerating anodes, the pairs of horizontal and vertical capacitor plates deviating the electron beam, and fluorescing screen.
Under the action of the applied voltage the electrons are moved with acceleration from cathode to anode.
For this reason, during retrace a negative voltage is applied to control electrode situated near to cathode and electrons are locked by such a way at the electron gun.

 ChemTeam: Cathode Ray Tube History
1858 Julius Plücker shows that cathode rays bend under the influence of a magnet suggesting that they are connected in some way; this leads in 1897 to discovery that cathode rays are composed of electrons.
This was in response to the prediction by Lenard that cathode rays would move with the velocity of light.
As concerning the nature of the cathode ray, the Germans tended to the explanation that cathode rays were a wave (like light), whereas the British tended to believe that the cathode ray was a particle.

 Demonstration Cathode Ray Oscilloscope
Standard cathode ray tubes for oscilloscopes are poorly suited for demonstrations because important sections of the tubes are electrostatically and magnetically shielded, thus concealed from the view of the observer.
Furthermore, these conventional cathode ray tubes require high accelerating voltages making them dangerous for an exposed setup.
KE5521 Cathode Ray Oscilloscope consists of a modified Braun tube, screen diameter 10 cm, an indirectly heated cathode with a near point source emissive oxide spot, and a disc anode with axial hole.

 The cathode-ray tube (CRT)
The cathode of the electron gun in the CRT is required not only to emit electrons, but also to concentrate emitted electrons into a tight beam.
In the electron tubes that you have studied, the cathode was cylindrical and emitted electrons in all directions along its entire length.
The number of electrons that leave the area of the cathode is determined by the cap-shaped grid.
