Method of signal reception in the expanded dynamic range of the photomultiplier tube for an imaging plate

A signal reception system based on simultaneous measurement of signals from the anode and one dynode of the photomultiplier tube has been developed for the readout of an imaging plate (photostimulated luminescence screen). This system is able to cover a linear-dynamic range of more than five orders of magnitude using a single photomultiplier tube with a high accuracy.
