  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-009289",
  "term": "Position-sensitive photomultiplier tube",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A type of photomultiplier tube capable of determining the spatial location of incident photons on its photocathode. It achieves this by using a resistive anode or a segmented anode, allowing for the measurement of both light intensity and its point of origin. These detectors are used in applications requiring spatial resolution, such as imaging and particle detection.",
