Side-on PMT
Photon Counting Head H8259 Series
The H8259 series is a photon counting head device containing a 28-mm (11/8") diameter side-on photomultiplier tube, high-speed photon counting circuit,
and a high-voltage power supply circuit. The photomultiplier tube sensitive in
the near IR region usually has a large dark count due to thermal noise but high
S/N measurements can be obtained since a low-noise photomultiplier tube is
selected. The high voltage supply for photomultiplier tube and the discrimination
level are preset to optimum values, allowing photon counting measurement by
just connecting a +5 V supply.
An electronic gate circuit (shutter circuit) is also included to eliminate extraneous light such as excitation light from the measurement.
