ABSTRACT:
An electron sensing device includes a cathode for providing a source of electrons, and an anode disposed opposite to the cathode for receiving electrons emitted from the cathode. The anode includes a textured surface for reducing halo in the output signal of the electron sensing device. The textured surface may include either pits or inverted pyramids.
