The Photonis Spiraltron~(TM) Family of Miniaturised Channel Electron Multipliers

摘要

Single channel electron multipliers ('Channeltrons') offer exceptional amplification properties with unsurpassed low noise behaviour, but traditionally these detectors have been restricted to high vacuum environments. The ability to expand the use of these types of detectors to high pressure applications provides an opportunity for weight, cost, and power reduction for existing instrumentation. Further, it may serve as an enabling technology for applications where low signals need to be measured at high pressure, such as in portable instruments.
