A large format image tube camera of a type under consideration for use on the Space Shuttle Sortie Missions is evaluated. The evaluation covers the following subjects: (1) resolving power of the system (2) geometrical characteristics of the system (distortion etc.) (3) shear characteristics of the fiber optic coupling (4) background effects in the tube (5) uniformity of response of the tube (as a function of wavelength) (6) detective quantum efficiency of the system (7) astronomical applications of the system. It must be noted that many of these characteristics are quantitatively unique to the particular tube under discussion and serve primarily to suggest what is possible with this type of tube.
