PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE
Modified R928, 8 mm × 6 mm Photocathode Size
Low Dark Counts, Extended Red Multialkali, High Sensitivity
For Photon Counting Applications
The R2949 is a 28mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter, 9-stage, side-on type photomultiplier tube having the same extended red multialkali photocathode as the R928. The R2949 features very low dark counts, extremely high quantum efficiency, high gain, good S/N ratio and wide spectral response from UV to near infrared.
The R2949 is well suited for use in various low-level photometries such as general single photon counting applications and fluorescence life time measurement. The R2949 is directly interchangeable with the R928.
