I've been a fan of Jeroen's YouTube channel for a while now. He has a very nice approach, combining theoretical knowlege with practical experiments and equipment builds. Here we see him using a photomultiplier tube and a board acquired in flea market to build his photon detector.
This video has a lot to offer us. First, there is a single thermatron. There is a tube socket. There is a (really small!) high-voltage power supply. He uses an oscilloscope. There is a laser. There are photons. And at one point, a single photon.
Having recently built a simple Wilson Cloud Chamber, my attraction to this device is easy to explain. I suspect our friend Grayson will be interested in it for Thermatronic reasons. There is a Part II. Check out the YouTube channel:
Here is more info on the channel and it's creator:
Hi, my name is Jeroen and on the Huygens Optics channel I publish videos on personal projects. My main fields of interest are optics, mechanics and photolithography. The videos aren't targeted towards a general audience but for people with a passion for science and technology (e.g. my fellow nerds).
The channel is named after the famous Dutch mathematician, astronomer and inventor Christiaan Huygens (1629-1695). He was the first to publish a mathematical description of the wave properties of light, and also discovered Saturn's rings.

Thanks Jeroen
