RECTANGULAR MCP AND ASSEMBLY SERIES

A microchannel plate (MCP) is a secondary electron multiplier consisting of an array of glass capillaries (channels) fused into the form of a thin plate. Each channel has an internal diameter of 6 µm to 25 µm and works as an independent electron multiplier, making possible the detection and amplification of two-dimensional information.

FEATURES
• Convenience of use due to fewer leads
• Choice and interchangeability of MCP and read-out devices
• High gain and low noise
• Two-dimensional image intensification
• Fast time response
• Immunity to magnetic fields
• Sensitive to electrons, ions, VUV lights, X-rays and γ-rays
• Stable in air
• Low power consumption
• Small size and light weight
• Can be baked in vacuum at up to 350°C

APPLICATIONS
Detection and imaging of electrons, ions, VUV lights, X-rays and γ-rays
• Mass spectroscopy
• Energy spectroscopy
• High-speed response CRTs
