A photomultiplier tube (PMT) is a highly sensitive electronic device that detects and amplifies light. It is commonly used in various applications, including particle physics, medical imaging, nuclear and radiation detection, and fluorescence spectroscopy. The PMT operates by converting incoming photons into an electrical signal, which can then be measured.
