Page "Phototube" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
Phototubes operate according to the photoelectric effect: Incoming photons strike a photocathode, generating electrons, which are attracted to an anode.
Unlike photomultiplier tubes, no amplification takes place, so the current that flows through the device is typically of the order of a few microamperes.
