Hamamatsu Photonics has announced a new micro photomultiplier tube “R12900U” housing the world’s smallest photomultiplier tube in a miniature plastic package designed to easily mount on electronic circuit boards. Installing this new micro PMT to serve as a photodetector means equipment such as environmental analysers and portable medical diagnostic devices can now be made significantly smaller.
