Explanation / Answer

Transparent envelope: It is typically made of glass or quartz and allows photons to pass through uninterrupted.

Dynode: It produces several secondary electrons for every photoelectron that strikes its surface.

Anode: 106 electrons are collected at its surface for every one photon that strikes the PMT.

Photoemissive cathoe: It emits electrons when exposed to radiation.
