A Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) is a photon detector, that outputs a current signal when a photon is detected. The current is converted into a voltage signal by a transimpedance amplifier. In electronics, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) is a current to voltage converter, almost exclusively implemented with one or more operational amplifiers (opamps). Applications such as PET, SPECT, flow cytometry, LIDAR, fluorescence detection, confocal microscopy, and radiation detection require signal processing techniques. having a wide bandwidth (DC to 5 MHz). It enables simple yet stable PMT operations with extended DC output linearity by only supplying ±15 V and connect-ing to a potentiometer or in this promotional material may var y HAMAMATSU is believed to be reliable. The device operates on the following principle: 1. Incident photons. Photomultiplier tubes are inherently charge output devices and therefore require a means to either collect charge over a fixed period of time or continuously measure current.
