/ˈdʌɪnəʊd/ An electrode which emits secondary electrons.
ΚΠ
1939 L. M. Myers Electron Optics v. 307 These secondary emitting surfaces are termed the dynodes, and this term is applicable to all other forms of secondary emitting surfaces in electron multipliers.
1952 Electronic Engin. 24 214/1 Only recently..has it been found possible to manufacture dynode surfaces with an operating life of 1000 hours.
1953 Electronic Engin. 25 48/2 An electron multiplier having beryllium-oxide coated dynodes.
1965 New Scientist 2 Sept. 558/3 The image is formed by directing the secondary electrons to the first dynode or phosphorescent screen of the electron multiplier.
