Overview

Long-life™ Microchannel Plates
PHOTONIS's Long-Life™ Microchannel Plates offer the highest L/D ratio available to deliver superior performance in gain for a variety of detector applications. Their sustained output is up to ten times greater compared to conventional MCPs. More importantly, Long-Life™ MCPs are rugged and durable offering stable gain and outstanding bias current stability resulting in extended operation, decreased downtime and lower costs.

PHOTONIS Microchannel Plates (MCPs) are fabricated from our proprietary Long-Life™ glass formulation. All MCPs are available with an Extended Dynamic Range (EDR) option which provides a linear output range that is up to 40 times that of a standard MCP.

High Resolution Microchannel Plate
PHOTONIS microchannel plates have a long standing presence and recognition in the imaging field. They are largely used for image tube manufacturing and therefore exhibit the best performance necessary for applications such as spatial resolution.

Time-of-Flight Detectors (TOF)
PHOTONIS offers the widest variety of Time-of-Flight Detectors available. Whether it’s our BiPolar or High Performance Time-of-Flight detectors, you’ll know you have today’s most advanced TOF detector technology. These patented Time-of-Flight Detectors offer previously unobtainable levels of temporal resolution, dynamic range, and high mass detection sensitivity for Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. PHOTONIS's unique 2-Micron pore Microchannel plates provide the highest channel density of any MCP providing gains in excess of 5x106.
PHOTONIS AP-TOF detectors are designed with cartridges which contain a Chevron™ set of two Long-Life™ small pore Extended Dynamic Range™ MCPs, and a high transmission grid mounted in a rugged module. If necessary, this module can be purchased separately, allowing quick and easy MCP replacement.

   
Microtron™ Miniature Advanced Performance Detectors
The PHOTONIS MICROTRON™ Sub-Miniature Advanced Performance Detector offers previously unobtainable levels of gain, dynamic range, and detection sensitivity in a compact, easy to use package. It is specifically designed for field portable and hand held analytical instruments, such as mass spectrometers, VUV spectrometers, and leak detectors.

ELECTRONGEN™ Electron Generator Arrays
EGAs can act as the electron source in electron impact ionization sources. This technology has the advantage of performing as a cold ionization source. By eliminating pyrolytic effects that occur when the heat generated by the filament chemically changes the unknown substances, allowing them to be identified. 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 electrons, the resultant electron flux is extremely uniform and dense.
