Abstract
In this article we discuss the results of the testing of approximately 50 Thorn Emi 9351 phototubes used for the light detection system of t he Counting Test Facility, prototype of the solar neutrino experiment Borexino, presently under installation at the Gran Sasso Laboratory. T he tests were aimed to a systematic evaluation of the spread of the ma in characteristics of the device and to a thorough evaluation of the s hielding effectiveness of mu-metal shields of different lengths.
