Low Drift and Hysteresis
The R928 and R955 feature extremely high quantum efficiency,
high current amplification, good S/N ratio and wide spectral response from UV to near infrared. The R928 employs a UV glass
envelope and the R955 has a fused silica envelope for UV sensitivity extension.
The R928 and R955 are well suited for use in broad-band spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrophotometers, emission spectrophotometers and other precision photometric instruments.
