Product Overview
Pacific Instruments 3150RF PMT Housing with Hamamatsu R666 - Used
This item is a Pacific Precision Instruments 3150RF photomultiplier tube (PMT) housing, containing a Hamamatsu R666 PMT module.
Pacific Instruments built specialized housings for research instrumentation, and Hamamatsu PMTs are a longstanding standard in optical detection. Together, they represent a pairing that once pushed precision measurement in labs and test setups. The housing is intact and complete from our inspection, but we have not tested the electronics.
Product Condition
Appears in good physical condition with intact housing and clear rod mount. The unit has not been tested and is offered as-is, with the Hamamatsu R666 tube present inside.
Product Overview
Photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) are highly sensitive detectors used in spectroscopy, nuclear science, and low-light research. Hamamatsu’s R666 series is known for stable response and reliability, while Pacific Instruments housings provided robust mechanical and optical interfaces. This assembly reflects that design approach—precision optics paired with solid construction.
