Abstract
An electron multiplier is disclosed having separate detector and conversion dynode elements. A single power supply external to the electron multiplier is used to bias the detector element. A DC-to-DC voltage converter within the electron multiplier is responsive to the detector bias voltage for converting this voltage to a greater value that is used to bias the conversion dynode.
