What sizes of electron multipliers and micro channel plates are available?
Electron multipliers are available with input cone diameters from 2mm to 15mm diameter. They are also available with a number of different channel diameters and analogue multipliers for mass spectrometer applications can be provided with metal/ceramic housings. Typical channel length to diameter is around 120:1 Micro channel plates have surface areas typically of 25, 36 and 46mm diameter although other sizes are also available and up to 100 x 100mm square plates are offered. Typical channel length to diameter ratios are 40:1 which is commonly called single thickness plates however 80:1 types are also offered ( commonly known as double thickness) By using double thickness plates you can ensure the input particles are fully saturated in the channels of the multiplier. Plates normally have around 10-12 micron channel diameters and the channels are set at an angle of around 13 deg to the perpendicular face. * NB: All trademarks used in this article are acknowledged.
