Photomultiplier data
There have been occasional threads about photomultipliers in the forum. The main UK manufacturer used to be Thorn-EMI Electron tubes in Ruislip, Middx. The compnay has been through various hands and their current website is: http://www.electron-tubes.co.uk/ There are data sheets freely downloadable which may include some of the historic types that we may encounter.
If that source of data fails I have an EMI PMT data book from 1970. I have occasionally scanned entries where members have needed specific data. |

Re: Photomultiplier data
I used to be a spectrographic engineer (okay, a 30 year technician) we used the Jap ones as they were the only ones really producing them.

Re: Photomultiplier data
Thanks for this link Jeffrey. If you're into photomultipliers (PMTs), these are discussed in depth on the NBTVA board, such as here.
Thanks to Sean Williams, I was able to obtain a rare red-sensitive example of this device and as a result my 30-line NBTV camera can use one PMT for each primary colour. This was captured from the mechanical monitor's display.
