This paper discusses how a digital low light CMOS camera can be paired with a Microchannel Plate equipped with a phosphor screen to provide real-time imagry of an ion beam to ensure proper focus and alignment for the most accurate analysis.
Development of Resistive Glass Multi-Capillary Inlet Tubes for Enhanced Ion Transport
Resistive Glass has proven to be successful at increasing the ion transmission in atmospheric pressure ionization sources. This paper discusses the manufacture of a multi-channel inlet tube and its effects on ion throughput.
This paper examines the effects of pore sizes and bias angles of the Microchannel Plates used in Time of Flight Detectors. Experiments were done to determine how the parameters of the MCP could be manipulated to minimize time jitter to ultimately improve the detection resolution of a Time of Flight detector. Efforts to control flatness of the MCP are also discussed.
This paper discusses new methodologies to improve the flatness of the MCPs used in Time of Flight Detectors. Minimizing the variation in MCP flatness is shown to decrease the time jitter with experimental data in a prototype detector.
Resistive Glass provides key benefits for ion mobility drift tubes, such as highly uniform electric fields with minimal radial inhomogeneities, simple one-piece construction and containment for counter-flow gas. The combination of uniform electric field and the turbulence-free counter-flow gas produces resolving powers of over 100. However, for some applications, the resistivity drift of Res...
PHOTONIS Streak Tube Reference List
Photonis patented ELECTROGEN™ Electron Generator Arrays (EGAs) consist of millions of precision glass tubes fused together to produce a uniform and mechanically rigid structure. They are processed such that, when a voltage is applied across the thickness, each pore produces a beam of electrons. With each of the millions of pores producing electron, the resultant electron flux is extremely un...
