摘要： A photomultiplier tube (PMT) detector assembly includes a PMT and an analog PMT detector circuit. The PMT includes a photocathode configured to emit an initial set of photoelectrons in response to an absorption of photons. The PMT includes a dynode chain with a plurality of dynodes. The dynode chain is configured to receive the initial set of photoelectrons, generate at least one amplified set of photoelectrons, and direct the at least one amplified set of photoelectrons. The PMT includes an anode configured to receive the at least one amplified set of photoelectrons, with a digitized image being generated based on a measurement of the final amplified set of photoelectrons. The digitized image is corrected by applying an output of the signal measured by the analog PMT detector circuit to the digitized image.

摘要： Scalable electron amplifier devices and methods of fabricating the devices an atomic layer deposition (“ALD”) fabrication process are described. The ALD fabrication process allows for large area (e.g., eight inches by eight inches) electron amplifier devices to be produced at reduced costs compared to current fabrication processes. The ALD fabrication process allows for nanostructure functional coatings, to impart a desired electrical conductivity and electron emissivity onto low cost borosilicate glass micro-capillary arrays to form the electron amplifier devices.

摘要： A photomultiplier comprising an electron multiplier for minimizing a variation in multiplication factor and noise is characterized in that insulating members are aligned on the same line to insulate a plurality of dynode plates for constituting a dynode unit from each other, thereby preventing a damage to each dynode plate. At the same time, a through hole is formed to fix the insulating member provided to each dynode plate such that a gap is provided between the major surface of the dynode plate and the surface of the insulating member, thereby preventing discharge between dynode plates, which is caused due to dust or the like deposited on the surface of the insulating member.

摘要： An improved electron discharge device comprises an evacuated envelope having therein a photoemissive cathode for providing photoelectrons in response to radiation incident thereon, an electron multiplier, including a primary dynode spaced from the cathode, and a focusing assembly disposed between the cathode and the multiplier. A thermionic electron control plate is disposed between the focusing assembly and the multiplier to prevent thermionic electrons from the focusing assembly from impinging on the primary dynode, while permitting the passage of photoelectrons to the primary dynode. The control plate overlies the primary dynode and is contiguous therewith.

摘要： The present invention relates to electron multiplier apparatus of the type used in ion detectors. In one form, the invention is an electron multiplier having two or more electron emissive surfaces, each having a different composition so as to together limit or overcome an acute gain effect on the electron multiplier due to the exposure of the two or more electron emissive surfaces to water molecules. Alternatively, the multiplier may have a single electron emissive surface of mixed composition comprising a first composition component and a second composition component so as to together limit or overcome an acute gain effect on the electron multiplier due to the exposure of the electron emissive surface to water molecules.

摘要： A night vision system, a microchannel plate (MCP), and a planetary deposition system and methodology are provided for selectively depositing an electrode contact metal on one side of MCP channel openings. One or more MCPs can be releasably secured to a face of a platter that rotates about its central platter axis. The rotating platter can be tilted on a rotating ring fixture surrounding an evaporative source of contact metal. Therefore, the rotating platter further rotates so that it orbits around the evaporative source of contact metal. A mask with a variable size mask opening is arranged between the rotating platter and the evaporative source. While the mask orbits around the evaporative source with the rotating platter, the mask does not rotate along its own axis as does the rotating platter.

摘要： A charged particle detector includes a microchannel plate having an input surface having electrons (charged particles) input thereon, a multiplication portion performing multiplication of electrons while maintaining positional information of the electrons, and an output surface outputting electrons multiplied by the multiplication portion; a multi-dynode having a plurality of dynodes multiplying the electrons output from the output surface, and insulation regions positioned between the dynodes; and an anode disposed in a spatial region between the output surface and the multi-dynode, and having collection portions for collecting electrons multiplied by the dynodes and aperture portions for allowing electrons output from the output surface to pass therethrough to the dynodes side. All of the insulation regions overlap the collection portions when viewed in an output direction of the electrons from the output surface.
