Definition of photomultiplier in English:
photomultiplier
noun ˌfəʊtəʊˈmʌltɪplʌɪəˌfoʊdoʊˈməltəplaɪər
An instrument containing a photoelectric cell and a series of electrodes, used to detect and amplify the light from very faint sources.
Example sentencesExamples
- Samples were also simultaneously imaged using the secondary electrons that were detected by a photomultiplier.
- After collection of the emitted photons on a photomultiplier, the signal is digitized with a numerical oscilloscope.
- The reflected fluorescence was detected via photomultipliers.
- Spectra are corrected for the wavelength dependence of the emission monochromator and the photomultiplier and also by subtracting background intensities of the buffer solution.
- With Pica, a photomultiplier detects the emitted photons but, because of the small number produced during switching, multiple passes have to be used to build up a picture of circuit activity.
