(under the class definition) Subject matter which includes a charged member and a source of invisible radiation to irradiate the charged member, or the step of irradiating the charged member, to alter the charge on the member in response to the radiation.
(1) Note. Means for or the step of charging the detector may be included in this subclass in combination with the source and charged plate-type detector.
(2) Note. The subject matter of this subclass may be in combination with means to hold, position or accommodate an object in the path of the radiation from the source to the detector, generally for the purpose of producing on the detector an image of the object.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
324+, for apparatus for or the method of corona irradiation to charge the detector without subsequent altering of the charge.
