Yep, as I understand it, at least the 2nd Gen tubes have a surface that turns incoming photons into electrons, then those electrons bounce around inside tiny "micro channels" with a high voltage applied to them, which causes more electrons to bounce down the tube. And then they hit a phosphor screen and turn back into photons.
It's really quite clever.
