Abstract
1476575 Photomultipliers G D SEARLE & CO 20 June 1975 [21 June 1974] 26300/75 Heading HID [Also in Division H4] In a scintillation camera of the type comprising a plurality of photomultiplier tubes (see Division H4) each tube viewing (preferably via a light guide plate) a particular area of a laminar scintillation crystal which in use is exposed to gamma rays, each tube includes a plurality of anodes A1P10, A2P10, e.g. four, each responsive to scintillations emanating from a determinable sector of the particular area viewed by that photomultiplier tube. The resulting anode output signals are processed to determine the co-ordinates of the incident gamma rays and displayed or otherwise recorded. This camera has improved spatial resolution, or alternatively a larger field of view may be viewed without reducing the degree of resolution since a plurality, e.g. four, reference points are produced for each photomultipler tube. Electrons emitted from photocathode 72 are channelled by electron partitions 3, 4, 8, and 9 and are attracted to respective ones of the four slat arrays 63, 61, 64, and 62 in the tubes dynode array and then to the respective anodes. The tubes are pressed into contact with u.v. transmitting light guide (45) adjacent glass disc (39) and the encased hygroscopic scintillator (37) (Fig. 2, not shown). Crystal (37) may be thallium activated sodium iodide.
