Electron Multiplier

Definition:

An electron multiplier is a device used to amplify the number of electrons produced by an input electron beam or particle, typically used in detection systems for scientific instruments.

Senses:

1. Electronic Component: An electron multiplier refers to an electronic component that multiplies the number of electrons entering it, producing a larger electron output.
2. Detection System: An electron multiplier refers to the detection system that incorporates the electronic component mentioned above.

Usage:

Popular Usage:

Researchers often use electron multipliers to enhance the sensitivity of their scientific instruments, allowing them to detect low-intensity signals more accurately.

Local Usage:
