R6427

The Hamamatsu R6427 is a high-sensitivityhead-on type photomultiplier tube (PMT) with a bialkali photocathode, optimized for ultraviolet (UV) to visible light detection. It is widely used in low-light-level measurementspectroscopy, and scientific research due to its high quantum efficiency and low noise performance.
