Claim 13:
14. An apparatus comprising:
a self-contained particle detector comprising an enclosure formed in part by a transmission mode secondary electron emissive element, the enclosure defining an internal environment and an external environment, wherein the transmission mode secondary electron emissive element has an externally facing surface and an internally facing surface and is configured such that impact of a particle on the externally facing surface causes emission of one or more secondary electrons from the internally facing surface; and
(i) a conversion dynode, wherein the conversion dynode is in operable association with the self-contained particle detector such that a secondary electron emitted by the conversion dynode is capable of impacting the externally facing side of the transmission mode secondary electron emissive element; or
(ii) an electron amplifier in operable association with the self-contained particle detector such that a secondary electron emitted by the electron multiplier is capable of impacting the externally facing side of the transmission mode secondary electron emissive element.
