Microchannel plate assembly

F14844

MCPs are made of millions to tens of millions of conductive glass capillaries bundled together to form a thin plate. 

The F14844 is  a microchannel plate (MCP)  assembly with a unique triode structure*1 designed to vary the potential gradient and to suppress ion feedback*2 noise. This makes the F14844 a useful tool for portable desktop mass spectrometers in which it is difficult to install a large vacuum pumping system. The F14844 is a breakthrough ion detector that allows downsizing and cost reduction of the equipment.
*1: Structure consisting of three electrodes which are the MCP-out, mesh anode, and dynode.
*2: Ion feedback is the cause of unstable operation that occurs under low vacuum conditions
