Serviceable by the use. Accepts different sizes and makes of MCPs including extended dynamic range. The PSP MCD assembly is mounted directly on the detector flange of the analyzer, so that it can be removed without having to remove the analyzer itself from the vacuum system. PSP' s demountable MCD assembly makes it easy for the user to service the MCD and to replace the channel plates without having to return the whole analyzer to the factory. The PSP MCD is offered as an upgrade package including the installation of the unit on your system by a PSP engineer.
Digital data is output to the host PC interface card.
The interface card controls the scanning and pass energy selection of the analyzer control unit. The system has shown linearity in count rate in excess of 2 MHz. This means that fast scans with small dwell times and high count rates are possible. The gain of all 16 pre-amps can be individually set. The counting threshold is set with a variable potentiometer, and the setting can be monitored.
