For TOF measurement, electron micoscopy, particle imaging and surface analysis
available as setup to be mounted by customer or ready mounted in a high vacuum Flange or high vacuum Viewport or for replacement of bare MCPs.

GIDS GmbH offer MCPs as single spare parts, possibly as matched double or triple sets as replacement for used detector parts.

A micro channel plate (MCP) is a lead glass plate including an array of electron multipliers with diameter of the tube in the range of 4-50 µm in parallel with thousands of other tubes. The length of a multiplier tube correspond to the thickness of the glass plate. The aspect ratio of the MCP is the length/diameter ratio of the channels. The channel axes are biased by a small angle (6° to 12°) to optimize the secondary electron emission in the channels. Under the influence of a supplied high voltage electrons are accelerated in the channels and hit the wall. A single electron is multiplied by a factor of 3-5. An MCP with an aspect ratio of 40:1 amplifies the electrons typical by a factor of more than 10000. So a single channel can be understood as a dynode continuous structure of a photomultiplier tube.

The GIDS GmbH offers MCPs for different applications in image and detection mode. It is possible to image electrons, positrons, protons, heavy ions, x-rays, XUV, VUV- and UV-radiation and measure position, cluster parameters, TOF and Ion- contribution depending on customers HV and readout system used.
