Specifically, after the counting circuit 41 finishes counting, the control circuit 42 can obtain a counting result and output a corresponding digital signal, the digital signal is transmitted to the upper computer 200 through the communication interface 35, and the display screen of the upper computer 200 can display the relevant data of the weak light signal detected by the photomultiplier 20.
