#REDIRECT [[Conversion dynode]]
A conversion [[dynode]] is used to increase the secondary emission characteristics for heavy ions and thus reduce the mass discrimination of the detector. A high potential, of opposite polarity to the ions detected, is used to attract these ions to the [[dynode]]. [[Secondary electron]]s are produced when the ions hit the [[dynode]] and are subsequently recorded via the detector used.
