What does DYNODE mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
An electrode inside a photomultiplier tube that gives off extra electrons when struck, so that a weak signal is multiplied.
In a photomultiplier a single electron is knocked out of a light-sensitive surface and then hits a series of dynodes, one after another. Each dynode releases several more electrons than arrive, so the tiny current grows into a measurable pulse after a dozen or so stages. The name joins dynamic with electrode and reflects the part it plays in building up the signal.
How DYNODE is used
Technical term of physics and electronics, found in descriptions of detectors and night-vision tubes.
- Each dynode in the tube is held at a higher voltage than the one before it.
- A fault in the third dynode weakened the whole detector.
- Electrons strike the first dynode and release a small shower of others.
- The physicist replaced a coated dynode that had worn out.
- Gain depends on how many electrons each dynode can emit.
