How the electron, photon detectors in double slit experiments work?

The most common detector is a photomultiplier (PM) tube.

Another common detector is an Avalanche Photo Diode (APD).

Does that answer your question, or did I miss your point?


Didn't Young use a piece of paper and his eyes?

Rhodopsin, retinal, rod cells, and membrane chemistry might be a more
technical answer along those lines. For best results with this equipment,
you should use a photon source in the 500 nm region.
