Illustration showing the interior of a cathode-ray tube for monochrome televisions and monitors. Numbers in the picture indicates:
Deflection coils
Electron beam
Focusing coil
Phosphor layer on the inner side of the screen; emits light when struck by the electron beam
Filament for heating the cathode
Graphite layer on the inner side of the tube
Rubber gasket where the anode voltage wire enters the tube
Cathode
Air-tight glass "body" of the tube
Screen
Coil yoke made of iron
Control electrode regulating the intensity of the electron beam and thereby the light emitted from the phosphor
Contact pins for cathode, filament and control electrode
Wire for anode voltage
