Electron Multiplier

The electron multiplier is a functional subpart of photomultipliers, many ion, radiation, and charged-particledettectors, and microchannel plates. I think it's the main gimick that makes these devices meanignful. The logical place to put a shared-use description of this core function is here in electron multiplier. jimswen 12:02, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Factor of multiplication wrong?

Howcome can a single cation produce 10 million eletrons in the end if 3^11 is far from twenty myriads? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.95.63.149 (talk) 22:49, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Neutrality dispute

I think that article fails the neutral POV test due to the emphasis on continuous dynode multipliers (CDEMs) over discrete dynode multipliers (DDEMs), combined with the specific references (and external link) to one, and only one, of the many electron multiplier manufacturers (one of the many companies that specializes in CDEMs, not DDEMs.) Unless a strong counter argument will be made, I will remove brand-specific references and links the next time I am at this page.

This sounds more like an issue of completeness of coverage rather than POV. The correct way of dealing with such an issue is expansion of the article rather than delete anything. It would be particularly inappropriate to delete references. As long as those references are genuinely supporting factually accurate text then they should stay unless replaced with better (more reliable) refs.

External links are a different issue, I would support removal of any that do not comply with WP:EL. SpinningSpark 17:30, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Link is broken — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.138.39.52 (talk) 11:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Removed link. Manufacturer's handbooks are not generally an appropriate thing to link in any case. SpinningSpark 13:07, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

A couple links/resources that i thought would be helpful. Especially the DOI's and the article from CERN Nikob7 (talk) 19:17, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

1) article looks pretty good, lots of pictures were added to show the readers what an electron multiplier is 2) I think it would have been beneficial if you would of put a schematic of the electron multiplier, and explain how it works in detail 3) reference are in order 4) try to differentiate what a Discrete dynode and Continuous dynode are — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pjimen4lsu (talk • contribs) 02:01, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
