Description
The Photon Counting Head MP 900
series is designed for applications in all
fields of single photon detection, e.g.
chemoluminescence, bioluminescence,
flourescence, in-vitro ssay,environmental
measurements or pure research.
It is an easy to use module, containing
the Channel Photomultiplier, a high
voltage power supply, a discrimination
amplifier and a pulse shaper for fast
output pulses. An installed active
quenching system avoids overillumination to the detector.
It is also possible to apply an external
gate function for time correlated photon
counting. Strong variations in light levels
are possible due to the high dynamic
range of the installed CPM. The
exceptional low noise and high
sensitivity facilitates detection of
extremely low light levels.
Features
· High dynamic range
· No cooling required
· Very high stability in noise level
· Active quenching circuit for high light
protection
· Gateable CPM input
· Optical fiber read-out possible
· 5 volts operating voltage
· Monitor voltage output

· CAUTION: HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
This product operates at high voltage. Extreme care must be taken to ensure operator safety and to avoid damage to other
instruments. Avoid direct contact with the entrance window of the built in CPM when high voltage is applied. Avoid placing
conductive material close to the cathode.
Ensure that no light levels are applied, generating higher anode currents than specified.
All given values are nominal/typical @ 20 °C ambient temperature; specification subject to change without notice
