PMT-176 has multialkali photocathode of S20 type, electron electrostatic focusing system, 12-dynode multiplication system. The device is intended for photometry and spectrometry, γ-radiation detection by scintillation method, for diagnostic radioisotope equipment. The device could be used in ecology, biophysics, geology, geophysics, nuclear physics, high energy physics, etc.
Constructive design
PMT-176 is produced in a glass balloon with head-on optical input and with rigid leads. Input window is made of boron-silicate glass C50-3 or C52-2.
