| Off-Axis BPTOF Detectors |
|---|
For analytical instruments where space and size are a main concern for your detector, Photonis offers the Off-Axis BPTOF detector. This detector supports non-linear configurations by mounting a PMT at a right angle to the scintillator. Requiring only 25mm of cylindrical space, the Off-Axis BPTOF detector features less than a 2 nanosecond pulse width and high output current.

Learning highlight
Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry has become the most widely used technique for identifying very large organic molecules. Recently, companies have started designing tabletop and portable TOF-MS instruments as the market has shifted. In this presentation, you will learn more about the origins of TOF-MS and how our detectors support these instruments.
Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry requires a detector that can accurately and efficiently measure the flight patterns of charged particles. In this presentation, you will learn how Photonis’ BiPolar TOF detectors can be separated to detect either positive or negative ions. Through our testing, it was concluded that microchannel plate segmentation can be used in array applications in place of multiple point detectors.
