Frank- The 636-10 is GaAs type PMT. Although they have better spectral responses in the red than the 3896, 928, 1477 types, their gain is an order of magnitude less. Thus, the match may not be optimal for the preamp system gains that BD uses. Have you (or anyone else reading this) had any experience with these PMTs?
