Electrons are prevented from being made incident onto an insulation part of a casing between dynodes to improve a withstand voltage. The photomultiplier tube 1 is a photomultiplier tube which is provided with substrates 20, 40 arranged so as to oppose each other, with the respective opposing surfaces 20a, 40a made with an insulating material, a substrate 30 constituting a casing together with the substrates 20, 40, dynodes 31a to 31j arrayed on an opposing surface 40a on the substrate 40 so as to be spaced away sequentially from a first end side to a second end side, a photocathode 22 installed so as to be spaced away from the dynode 31a to the first end side, and an anode part 32 installed so as to be spaced away from the dynode 31j to the second end side, in which the opposing surface 20a of the substrate 20 is formed so as to cover the dynodes 31a to 31j, and a plurality of conductive layers 21a to 21j set equal in potential to dynodes 31a to 31j which are electrically independent from each other are installed at sites opposing individually the dynodes 31a to 31j on the opposing surface 20a.

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.

The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of obtaining a photoelectric converting device which can sufficiently maintain airtightness of a housing space for photocathode without degradation of the characteristics of the photocathode. In accordance with the manufacturing method, on the side wall end face of a lower frame and a bonding portion of an upper frame forming an envelope of the photoelectric converting device, a multilayered metal film of chromium and nickel is formed. In a vacuum space decompressed to a predetermined degree of vacuum and having a temperature not more than the melting point of indium, these upper and lower frames introduced therein are brought into close contact with each other with a predetermined pressure while sandwiching indium wire members, and accordingly, an envelope having a housing space whose airtightness is sufficiently maintained is obtained.

The present invention relates to a photomultiplier having a fine structure capable of realizing high detection accuracy by effectively suppressing cross talk among electron-multiplier channels. The photomultiplier comprises a housing whose inside is maintained vacuum, and, in the housing, a photocathode, an electron-multiplier section, and anodes are disposed. The electron-multiplier section has groove portions for cascade-multiplying photoelectrons as electron-multiplier channels, and the anodes are constituted by channel electrodes corresponding to the groove portions respectively defined by wall parts. In particular, at least parts of the respective channel electrodes are located in spaces sandwiched between pairs of wall parts defining the corresponding groove portions.
