    Abstract: A scalable vacuum photosensor configured to simplify mass production with a housing having an evacuated first side at an ultrahigh vacuum and a second side which does not require high vacuum. The first side of the device is sealed to a base plate, having a central electron readout element, using an oxide-free sealing technique, with the deposited sealing areas serving as high voltage throughputs from the first to second sides. A conductive photocathode layer on the transparent first side converts photons to photoelectrons and concentrates the photoelectrons upon the readout. The first and second sides together form an electrostatic lens for accelerating and focusing photoelectrons upon the readout, preferably having a scintillator which generates secondary light measured by an optical detector in the second side of the housing.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a fine configuration capable of realizing stable detection accuracy. The photomultiplier has a housing whose inside is maintained vacuum, and a photocathode, an electron-multiplier section, and an anode are disposed in the housing. In particular, one or more control electrodes disposed in an internal space of the housing which surrounds the electron-multiplier section and the anode are electrically connected via one or more connection parts extending from an electron emission terminal of the electron-multiplier section. In this configuration, due to a voltage, instead of the applying between an electron entrance terminal and the electron emission terminal of the electron-multiplier section, being applied between the electron entrance terminal and the control electrodes, an electric potential gradient which is increased gradually from the photocathode side toward the anode side is formed in the electron-multiplier section, and a sufficient electric potential difference is provided between the electron emission terminal of the electron-multiplier section and the anode, which makes it possible to obtain stable detection accuracy.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a structure that enables to perform high gain and satisfy higher required characteristics. In the photomultiplier, an electron-multiplying unit accommodated in a sealed container comprises a focusing electrode, an accelerating electrode, a dynode unit, and an anode. Particularly, at least the accelerating electrode and dynode unit are held unitedly in a state that at least a first-stage dynode and a second-stage included in the dynode unit are opposite directly to the accelerating electrode not through a conductive material. A conventional metal disk for supporting directly dynodes which are set to the same potential as that of the first-stage dynode is not placed between the accelerating electrode and dynode unit; thus, variations of the transit time of electrons may be drastically reduced while the electrons reach from the cathode to the second-stage dynode via the first-stage dynode.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a structure for performing a high gain and achieving a higher productivity in a state keeping or improving an excellent high-speed response. In the photomultiplier, an electron-multiplying unit accommodated in a sealed container has a structure that enables an integrated assembly of a focusing electrode, an accelerating electrode, a dynode unit, and an anode. Specifically, the focusing electrode has one or more notched portions to be grasped by a part of each of the insulating support members for grasping directly the dynode unit and so on when the focusing electrode itself is rotated around the tube axis of the sealed container. With this construction, the focusing electrode is fixed to the pair of insulating support members in a state that the focusing electrode is aligned with high accuracy by using the pair of insulating support member as a reference member.

    Abstract: In a photomultiplier, focusing pieces of a focusing electrode are formed with sufficient height that the photocathode in the adjacent channels cannot be viewed from the first and second stage dynodes of each channel in order to prevent light reflected from the first and second stage dynodes from returning to the adjacent channels. This construction prevents the photocathode from emitting undesired electrons, thereby suppressing crosstalk. Further, by arranging condensing lenses on the outer surface of a light-receiving faceplate in correspondence with each channel, light is reliably condensed in each channel. Further, an oxide film formed over the surface of the focusing pieces prevents the reflection of light off the focusing pieces.

    Abstract: A particle detector switchable from an ion detector to an electron detector includes an ion-to-electron converter and a scintillator detector. With one set of voltages on the components, the converter has minimal impact on the electron trajectories so the electrons are efficiently detected by the scintillator detector. With different voltage settings on the components, the detector can be operated in positive ion mode to collect positive ions with adequate efficiency for most FIB applications. The ion-to-electron converter is preferably in the shape of a cylinder or includes multiple parallel plates
