Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Tube inventé par W. Zworykin et utilisant l'action combinée de l'effet photo-électrique et de l'émission secondaire, où les électrons émis par la photocathode sont projetés sur une dizaine de plaques successives, appelées «dynodes», constituées par un métal présentant une forte émission secondaire. [...] pour un électron arraché à la cathode, plus de dix millions d'électrons frappent la dernière électrode. Ces tubes constituent les dispositifs photo-électriques les plus sensibles que l'on connaisse, et ont de nombreuses applications, notamment en télévision et en astronomie. 4, record 2, French, - photomultiplicateur

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It consists of a photocathode, a series of dynodes, called a dynode chain on which a secondary-electron multiplication process occurs, and an anode. According to the desired response time, transit time, time spread, gain, or low dark current, different types of dynode structures have been developed, e.g. circular cage structure, box and grid structure. Some special dynode structures permit combination with additional electric or magnetic fields. 3, record 3, English, - photomultiplier%20tube

Le détecteur à photométrie de flamme filtre, à travers des fenêtres spéciales, la lumière produite par la combustion du soluté dans une flamme air-hydrogène riche en ce dernier. Un tube photomultiplicateur permet de mesurer l'intensité de la lumière transmise, proportionnelle à la quantité d'espèce brûlée par unité de temps. 4, record 3, French, - tube%20photomultiplicateur
