Overview of Cooled PMT Housing

Cooling the photomultiplier tube, reduces the dark current and increases the dynamic range. ISS offers a cooled photomultiplier tube recommended for use in photon counting detection when a high instrument sensitivity is required. The housing is cooled by a thermoelectric element (Peltier cooling) which allows the temperature to be set as low as -28°C. A flow through cooling device is necessary to remove excess heat from the Peltier element.
