Cesium-iodide photocathodes have been investigated in combination with gaseous detectors. The quantum efficiency of a semi-transparent CsI photocathode has been measured in the UV range and found to be 10% at 140 nm. We report experimental results obtained with such photocathodes coupled to BaF2 and KMgF3 scintillators and read out by parallel-plate gaseous detectors.
