Abstract
A dynode is one of a series of electrodes within a photomultiplier tube. Each dynode is more positively charged than its predecessor. Secondary emission occurs at the surface of each dynode. Such an arrangement is able to amplify the tiny current emitted by the photocathode by typically one million.

Dynode
A dynode is one of a series of electrodes within a photomultiplier tube. Each dynode is more positively charged than its predecessor. Secondary emission occurs at the surface of each dynode. Such an arrangement is able to amplify the tiny current emitted by the photocathode by typically one million.
Photomultiplier Modules
Photomultiplier Modules are highly cost effective, saving time at the development stage and throughout the course of manufacturing the product. The electronic and mechanical design is normally customised to provide the optimum interface with the user's equipment.
Sens-Tech Photomultiplier Modules provide the instrument designer with a wide range of high performance plug-and-play solutions for low and high light level detection and measurement. Modules are light tight and incorporate combinations of the following:
• photomultiplier
• power supply
• voltage divider
• electromagnetic screening
• electrostatic screening
• signal processing electronics
Sens-Tech Photomultiplier Modules may include optical and mechanical components.
Benefits include:
• shorter time-to-market
• cost effectiveness
• applications support long after the sale
• plug-and-play versions
• user friendly
• physically robust
• long term stability of operation
• reduced susceptibility to e-m interference
• user protected package with encapsulated HV
• adjustable versions offering user control
