MCP detector consists of an assembly of two or more microchannel plates (MCPs). Its operating principle relies on the detection and amplification of the primary flux of charged particles.
VTC BASPIK detectors are manufactured with high quality microchannel plates of different sizes, shapes and technical parameters.
The following versions of the products are available
- with 18, 25, 42, 48, 50, 78 mm active area;
- single MCP, chevron stack and Z-stack;
- with metal anode, without anode, with phosphor screen;
- with a mesh in front of the MCP;
- assembled on a vacuum flange;
- with different MCP resistance.
