Abstract
A review of image detection by television techniques is given in the context of optical and ultraviolet astronomy. The method of image photon counting, now used routinely in optical astronomy, and the detector systems of the International Ultraviolet Explorer observatory satellite, are discussed as representative examples in each field.
