ORTEC 265A

PMT base for 12-stage, 21-pin photomultipliers, for fast timing

Mechanical assembly and resistive voltage divider with capacitive decoupling for 12-stage photomultiplier tubes. It is particularly suited to fast timing and single-photon counting and provides a dc-coupled anode signal for timing and a linear signal from the ninth dynode for energy measurements.
