#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.
