We provide a complete program of gated MCP (micro channel plate) detectors for visualization of X-ray and VUV radiation. These detectors can be used for: - Time resolved visualization of plasma pulse in X-Ray or VUV - X-ray or VUV time/spatially resolved spectroscopy - High sensitive time/spatially resolved ion/electron spectrometry |
X-Ray/VUV MCP detector
Each detector comes in a metal housing, equipped with a single MCP plate and a phosphor screen (on a fiber optic plate), which serves as a vacuum/air interface.
Fast detectors provide gating times between 5 and 50ns, which defines time resolution of the plasma imaging. Gating pulses are generated by high-voltage (up to 10kV) signal generator, developed by ISTEQ specially for MCP detectors.
