     Items:

a.  Mechanical rotating mirror cameras, as follows,
    and specially designed components therefor:

     a.1.  Framing cameras with recording rates
           greater than 225,000 frames per second;

     a.2.  Streak cameras with writing speeds
           greater than 0.5 mm per microsecond;

     	   Note:  Components of cameras controlled by 6A203.a include their 
                  synchronizing electronics units and rotor assemblies consisting 
                  of turbines, mirrors and bearings.

b.  Electronic streak cameras, electronic framing cameras, tubes and devices, as follows:

     b.1.  Electronic streak cameras capable of 50 ns
           or less time resolution;

     b.2.  Streak tubes for cameras controlled by
           6A203.b.1;

     b.3.  Electronic (or electronically shuttered)framing cameras capable of 
           50 ns or less frame exposure time;

     b.4.  Framing tubes and solid-state imaging devices for use with cameras 
           controlled by 6A203.b.3, as follows:

          b.4.a.  Proximity focused image intensifier tubes having the photocathode 
                  deposited on a transparent conductive coating to decrease photocathode
                  sheet resistance;

          b.4.b.  Gated silicon intensifier target (SIT) videcon tubes, where a 
                  fast system allows gating the photoelectrons from the photocathode 
                  before they impinge on the SIT plate;

          b.4.c.  Kerr or Pockels cell electro-optical shuttering;

          b.4.d. Other framing tubes and solid-state imaging devices having a fast-image 
                 gating time of less than 50 ns specially designed for cameras controlled 
                 by 6A203.b.3.

c.  Radiation-hardened TV cameras, or lenses therefor, specially designed or rated as radiation
    hardened to withstand a total radiation dose greater than 50 x 103 Gy (silicon) (5 x 106 rad
    (silicon)) without operational degradation.

     Technical Note:  The term Gy (silicon) refers to the energy in Joules per kilogram absorbed by
                      an unshielded silicon sample when exposed to ionizing radiation.
