TY - JOUR AU - Eck, J van AB - The response of a windowless venetian blind type photomultiplier has been studied by scanning the first dynode which is used as a photocathode in a direction perpendicular to the slats. The running of the photomultiplier (cathode grounded or at high negative potential; anode 3 kV positive with respect to the cathode) has a strong influence on the response. This effect is probably due to electrostatic field penetration through the mesh just before the first dynode (95% transmission), because the cathode faces the grounded exit slit of a vacuum monochromator. Remarkable differences in the response are measured across each slat. The influence of an additional mesh in front of the photocathode has been examined for both potential configurations.
