FL-1030 Thermoelectrically Cooled Near-
IR Photomultiplier Tube 

For spectral measurements extending into the near-infrared, the FL-1030 Thermoelec-
trically Cooled PMT is perfect. Included in the FL-1030 is the thermoelectrically 
cooled housing. The InGaAs detector has a spectral range from 250 nm all the way to 
1050 nm. Required for this item is the DM302 Photon Counting Module.
