Channel Photomultipliers and Modules
MD Series CPM Modules
Ultra High Sensitivity Gateable Channel
Photomultiplier DC-Modules
T E E H S A T A D
Description
The Channel Photomultiplier DCModule series is designed for all low light applications e.g. in industries, life science or medical analysis, in high energy physics or pure research.
It is an easy to use module, containing the Channel Photomultiplier,
a high voltage power supply, an amplifier with I/U conversion
and an active quenching circuit for high light protection. It is also possible to apply an external gate function. 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
·Adjustable gain
·Active quenching
·Circuit for high light protection
·Gateable CPM input (only Bialkali types)
·Optical fiber read-out possible
·5 volts operating voltage
·Monitor voltage output
