DESCRIPTION

nnnn

IPD, HRPCS and photomultiplier photon counting systems which have a S20 or 525 photocathode for high red sensitivity,

nnnn

have an inherently high dark noise. This can be dramatically reduced through cooling the device.

nnnn

The Peltier Temperature Controller (PTC-3) and head assembly can cool an imaging intensifier tube to a minimum

nnnn

temperature of -40° C and thus reduce the system dark noise count from approxlmatley 5,000 cps/cm2 to less than 20

nnnn

cps/cm?, with no loss of red response detection. The controller can also be used to cool and stabilise the dark noise of

nnnn

other photocathodes such as the low noise S20.
