PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE
Provided is a photomultiplier tube including: a container including a window portion formed of a light-transmitting material, and a tubular portion that is connected to the window portion and defines a vacuum space in combination with the window portion; a photoelectric surface that is formed of a photoelectron-emitting material consisting of sodium, potassium, and antimony, is provided on a first surface of the window portion on a side of the vacuum space, and emits photoelectrons in correspondence with incident light; and an electron multiplier that emits secondary electrons in correspondence with incidence of the photoelectrons emitted from the photoelectric surface, and multiplies the secondary electrons. An aluminum oxide layer is formed between the photoelectric surface and the window portion and on a surface of the tubular portion.

Charged particle detector
A charged particle detector includes a microchannel plate having an input surface having electrons (charged particles) input thereon, a multiplication portion performing multiplication of electrons while maintaining positional information of the electrons, and an output surface outputting electrons multiplied by the multiplication portion; a multi-dynode having a plurality of dynodes multiplying the electrons output from the output surface, and insulation regions positioned between the dynodes; and an anode disposed in a spatial region between the output surface and the multi-dynode, and having collection portions for collecting electrons multiplied by the dynodes and aperture portions for allowing electrons output from the output surface to pass therethrough to the dynodes side. All of the insulation regions overlap the collection portions when viewed in an output direction of the electrons from the output surface.
