Abstract: A weak light detector (40) which can detect two-dimensional weak radiation at a high speed with high precision. The fluorescence from the DNA chip (46) is incident on a detection part (56) of a detection unit (52). The detection unit (56) has a detection module with a number of detection transistors being placed to correspond to cells of the DNA chip (46). The detection part (56) performs photoelectric conversion of the incident fluorescence (photon) to emit electrons, and amplifies the electrons to make them incident on the detection module. The detection transistors are switched based the Hadamard matrix to operate. A data processing unit (54) reads an output signal of the detection part (56), then performs Hadamard inversion, and determines the detection transistor which outputs the signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photodetector that has a structure capable of realizing a wide range gain adjustment for each of electron multiplier channels respectively assigned to a plurality of light incidence regions of a multi-anode multiplier. The photodetector comprises a multi-anode photomultiplier, and a bleeder circuit unit. The multi-anode multiplier has a dynode unit constituted by N (an integer or no less than 3) dynode plates, and n-th (an integer of no less then 2) dynode plate is constituted by a plurality of control plates respectively corresponding to the multiplier channels. The bleeder circuit unit has a primary section setting each potential of a first to (n−1)-th and (n+1)-th to N-th dynode plates, and a secondary section for individually setting a potential of each control plate at any potential within the range wider than a potential difference between the (n−1)-th and (n+1) dynode plates. By expanding the potential setting range for the control plates rather than the potential difference between the dynode plates adjacent to the n-th dynode plate, the gain of each electron multiplier channel can be controlled by two digits or more.

Abstract: A multiple section photomultiplier tube constructed as a matrix of several independent tubes in one envelope. The photocathode to dynode spacings are isolated by a separator configuration built with walls which interlock in cooperating slots, and each photocathode operates with its own independent dynode cage. One dynode in each cage is maintained electrically independent, and its connection is brought out of the envelope independently. This permits independent adjustment of the gain for each of the tube's multiple sections, so they can be adjusted to the same response for a standard radiation signal. The entire tube can then be used to monitor a large area for radiation, and will yield the same response over its entire cathode area.

Abstract: An electron tube comprising a stack of at least one perforate plate-shaped insulating element and at least one perforate plate-shaped metal electrode structure, the insulating element comprising a core and being provided with an aluminium layer at least on a side facing the electrode structure, at least the outer layer of the aluminium layer being oxidized, and the coefficients of thermal expansion of the core and the electrode structure being at least substantially equal. In this manner, the thermal stresses occurring between the insulating element and the electrode structure during firing are reduced, so that the risk of their displacement relative to each other is reduced.
