  "term": "Daly detector",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of ion detector used in mass spectrometry that converts ions into electrons, which are then amplified. Ions strike a high-voltage conversion dynode, releasing secondary electrons that are subsequently accelerated towards a scintillator. The light produced by the scintillator is then detected by a photomultiplier tube, providing high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range.",
