Abstract: A dynode for use as a stage of a plural stage photomultiplier tube in which the dynode is formed of a plurality of axially and planarly aligned conical frustums.
Abstract: A dynode has a plurality of circular elements that are planar, concentric and electrically interconnected for decreasing the variation in the number of secondary electrons emitted for each impinging primary electron when the primary electrons impinge from different angular directions.
Abstract: A single photomultiplier tube having four sensing areas each of which produces its own independent electrical signal that is related to the quantity of sensed matter that impinges on its area.
Abstract: A nozzle having a through passageway in which the flow of pressurized fluid induces the flow of secondary fluid therethrough with the passageway having a throat that is adjustable in cross-sectional extent to enable the nozzle to efficiently operate over a wide range of operating conditions. The throat extent may be automatically changed with a change in the operating condition within its range or as in one embodiment be easily set for one operating condition.
