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 1, English, - photomultiplier%20tube
