PMT has various meanings in the Scientific & Educational category. Discover the full forms, definitions, and usage contexts of PMT in Scientific & Educational.
A photomultiplier tube (PMT) has very low noise levels allowing the current generated by incident light to be multiplied over a million times to where individual photons can be detected. Photomultiplier tubes are several orders of magnitude more sensitive than any other detector for UV and visible radiation. We offer PMT models with a full range of spectral sensitivities. Since the first commercial photomultiplier tube (PMT) was developed in the early 1940s, it has remained the detector of choice in instruments that require low noise and high sensitivity. The PMT is firmly entrenched in many fields, from analytical chemistry to medical imaging, industrial process control, and high-energy physics.
