1. Hence the electron multiplier is often used as an ion detector. 2. Another geometry of continuous-dynode electron multiplier is called the microchannel plate. 3. The electron multiplier allows for faster response time, increased sensitivity and higher gain. 4. His first assignment was to develop an electron multiplier to go with the Image Orthicon. 5. The resulting ions were separated in a magnetic sector and detected by an electron multiplier . 6. This effect is used in electron multipliers as found in night vision systems and similar devices. 7. One common attempt used an electron multiplier at the tube face instead of the selection grid. 8. In 1938, he got his first patent, " Electron Discharge Device ", on electron multipliers . 9. The ions are detected by a mechanism capable of detecting charged particles, such as an electron multiplier . 10. Faraday cups are used e . g . in mass spectrometers being an alternative to secondary electron multipliers .
