Photon counting head

H8259-01

The H8259 series is a photon counting head device containing a 28 mm (1-1/8") 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.
