The bi-alkali PMT is very sensitive in the 400-500 nm wavelength region. It is ideally
suited for phosphor imaging.
The multi-alkali PMT has a wide spectral response from the ultraviolet to the near infrared
region. It is the detector of choice for fluorescence applications.
Cooling fans
The Amersham Typhoon scanner has cooling fans that prevent the internal temperature
from rising.
Instrument control
The Amersham Typhoon scanner is operated using Amersham Typhoon Control Software.
The scanner also has an instrument panel with indicator lamps that indicate the status
of the instrument. Refer to
for more information about the
instrument panel.
