Continuous dynode particle multiplier

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-002492",
  "term": "Continuous dynode particle multiplier",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A device used in mass spectrometry for detecting ions, consisting of a continuous resistive surface shaped to allow secondary electron emission upon ion impact. The emitted electrons are accelerated and strike further along the surface, generating an electron cascade. This design provides high gain and fast response for ion detection.",
