Preferred Label : photoemissive detector;
IUPAC definition : A detector in which a photon interacts with a solid surface, which is called the photocathode,
or a gas, releasing a photoelectron. This process is called the external photoelectric
effect. The photoelectrons are collected by an electrode at positive electric potential,
i.e. the anode.;
