High resolution MCPs with 3 µm channel diameter ideally suit for time-of-flight mass-spectrometry enhancing timing response. The enterprise plans to develop MCPs with 2 µm channel diameter in 2019.

Center-hole MCPs are used in linear reflectron time-of-flight mass-spectrometry.The laser is pulsed through the MCP’s center hole, while the outer edges capture particles.

MCPs curve spherically or cylindrically to match the focal plane of an instrument. Application: VUV spectroscopy. The first prototypes suitable for market testing will be developed by 2019.

Photon detector is one of the main types of detectors in high-energy and nuclear physics. Photon counting is a fundamental method for the acquisition of maximum information from the light signal. This method is widely used for the detection of very weak light signals. PMTs with discrete dynodes, MCP-PMTs, avalanche diodes, hybrid PMTs are usually used as photon counting detectors. As compared to the other types of detectors MCP-PMT have the advantage of high gain and fast response, larger active area, low power consumption, stable operation under exposure to magnetic fields..
