    摘要: The MCP assembly of this embodiment is formed at least of a conductive upper support member, an MCP unit, an output electrode, a flexible sheet electrode, and a conductive lower support member as a structure for improving handleability of a flexible sheet electrode having a mesh area. The flexible sheet electrode includes the mesh area provided with plural openings. The flexible sheet electrode and the lower support member are physically and electrically connected to each other, and the flexible sheet electrode is sandwiched between the upper support member and the lower support member. As a result, even if the flexible sheet electrode becomes thin as an opening ratio of the mesh area increases, potential is set while the flexible sheet electrode is firmly held in the MCP assembly.

    摘要: An ion detection system is disclosed that comprises one or more first devices (11) configured to produce secondary electrons in response to incident ions. The one or more first devices (11) comprise a first ion collection region and a second ion collection region and are configured to produce first secondary electrons in response to one or more ions incident at the first ion collection region and to produce second secondary electrons in response to one or more ions incident at the second ion collection region. The ion detection system also comprises a first output device (14) configured to output a first signal in response to first secondary electrons produced by the one or more first devices (11) and a second output device (15) configured to output a second signal in response to second secondary electrons produced by the one or more first devices (11).

    摘要: A phosphor screen for a Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) image intensifier includes a wafer structure, a lattice of interior walls, a thin film phosphor layer, and a reflective metal layer. The wafer structure has a naturally opaque top layer and an active area defined within the naturally opaque top layer. The lattice of interior walls is formed, within the active area, from the naturally opaque top layer. The thin film phosphor layer is disposed in the active area, between the lattice of interior walls. The reflective metal layer that is disposed atop the thin film phosphor layer. In at least some instances, the thin film phosphor layer is a non-particle phosphor layer.

    摘要: A monocrystalline scintillator comprises a monocrystal and an optical plate wherein a first side of the monocrystal is adhered to the optical plate. The monocrystal comprises at least one of a rare earth garnet, a perovskite crystal, a rare-earth silicate, and a monocrystal oxysulphide. The scintillator assembly includes an adhesive adhering the optical plate to the first side of the monocrystal. The adhesive can comprise an ultra-high vacuum compatible adhesive. The adhesive is substantially transparent and has a refractive index matching the optical plate. The scintillator assembly can also include a reflective coating on the second side of the monocrystal. The monocrystalline scintillator assembly can be incorporated in a microchannel plate image intensifier tube to provide improved spatial resolution and temporal response.

    摘要: An embodiment of the invention relates to a TOF-MS capable of performing mass spectrometry of a sample at a high throughput. The TOF-MS has an acceleration part for accelerating an ion, a detector for detecting an event of arrival of the accelerated ion, and a data processing part for performing mass spectrometry of the sample, based on a time of flight of the ion. A first structure of the detector includes an MCP, a dynode, and an anode. In the first structure, the dynode is set at a potential higher than that of an output face of the MCP. The anode is disposed at an intermediate position between the MCP and the dynode or on the dynode side with respect to the intermediate position. The anode has plural apertures and is set at a potential higher than that of the dynode.
