Product catalog summary
Overview: PHOTONIS offers a wide range of Advanced Performance Detectors (APDs) designed for detecting and amplifying charged particles and electromagnetic radiation. These detectors are used in scientific instruments such as mass spectrometers, SIMS, SEM, FIB, leak detectors, VUV spectrometers, and RGAs, as well as in high energy physics and space exploration.
Specifications: APDs are available with micro-channel plates (MCPs) that range from 3.9 mm to 120 mm in diameter and up to 100 mm x 80 mm in rectangular designs. They feature options like pore size, pitch, bias angle, image grade, aspect ratio, and additional coatings. The Extented Dynamic Range™ option enhances detection limits significantly.
Configurations and Options: PHOTONIS provides over 200 types of standard and custom APDs, including Time-of-Flight (TOF) detectors. The detectors can be integrated easily into systems with various mounting options and are available in standard, custom, and low-profile housings. The Mounting-Pad™ MCP option prevents warping and cracking due to moisture.
Performance Features: The detectors offer superior sensitivity and dynamic range. Sub-Miniature Advanced Performance Detectors like QUANTUM™ and MICROTRON™ provide high amplification and detection sensitivity in compact packages, suitable for miniature sensors and handheld instruments.
Additional Features: Options include center holes for unobstructed beam passage, center tabs for independent MCP biasing, phosphor screens for 2-D imaging, and resistive anode encoders for position sensing. Multi-metal anodes and CCD cameras are also available for enhanced functionality.
Contact Information: PHOTONIS USA Inc. is located at 660 Main Street, Sturbridge, MA, USA. For inquiries, contact via phone at +1 800 648 1800 (US & Can) or +1 508 347 4000 (International), or email [email protected].
