Photo and Photomultiplier Tubes – Technical Reference PDF
This PDF contains a technical reference table dedicated to photo tubes and photomultiplier tubes produced during Soviet era in Est Europe.
The document is titled “Group XVI – Photo and Photomultiplier Tubes” and includes a large selection of tube types, with particular attention to FEU-series photomultiplier tubes and other related devices.
What information is included?
Inside the PDF you can find comparative data such as:
- tube type number;
- kind of device;
- bulb dimensions, including diameter and length;
- photocathode area and surface type;
- cathode sensitivity;
- maximum operating voltage and current;
- dark current data;
- output sensitivity and amplification information;
- recommended operating voltage;
- dynode material and number of stages;
- application or classification notes.
This is not a modern datasheet for a single component, but rather a compact reference table that allows different
photo tubes and photomultiplier tubes to be compared quickly.
