avalanche photodiode John Quinn Practical Flow Cytometry 4th Edition, Howard Shapiro, ISBN-10: 0471411256, ISBN-13: 978-0471411253 An avalanche photodiode is typically used to collect photons emitted by forward scatter because it is far less sensitive, and less likely o be burned out, than a PMT. A photodiode with high quantum efficiency and a mechanism for producing gains as high as a few thousand. C30644E - InGaAs Avalanche Photodiode avalanche photodiode photodiode metadata incomplete
