Not really. That was Vladimir Zworkin. There really was one absolutely key invention, which was the iconoscope camera. This was the first device that stored up information from photons no matter when they arrived, at every spot
on the picture. Even today they make really good pictures in bright sunlight, for example, in a camera made by a guy in Japan using a solid state preamp.
In broad daylight even my WWII bomber camera make quite OK pictures.
