Extended Red, High Sensitivity, Multialkali Photocathode
28mm (1-1/8 Inch) Diameter, 9-Stage, Side-On
GENERAL
FEATURES
Parameter Description/Value Unit
Spectral Response
The R928 and R955 feature extremely high quantum efficiency,
high current amplification, good S/N ratio and wide spectral re-
sponse from UV to near infrared. The R928 employs a UV glass
envelope and the R955 has a fused silica envelope for UV sen-
sitivity extension.
The R928 and R955 are well suited for use in broad-band spec-
trophotometers, atomic absorption spectrophotometers, emis-
sion spectrophotometers and other precision photometric in-
struments.
