Page 6: Chapter 3 Description
The PMTSS is a stand-alone photosensor module in a compact aluminum housing. It is a multi-alkali PMT detector without any filter block and base. It has a C-mount internal thread. For compatibility with Thorlabs’ SM1 lens tubes, convert the C-mount thread to external SM1 threads using Thorlabs’ SM1A9 C-mount to SM1 adapter. For compatibility with a 30 mm cage system, attach an SM1T2 externally SM1-threaded coupler to the SM1A9, which is compatible with any of our SM1-threaded 30 mm cage plates. -
