TOF Electron Multipliers

TOF Electron Multipliers

Our TOF detectors offer an outstanding combination of performance characteristics.
They eliminate the compromises of previous TOF designs while delivering up to 2.5V pulse dynamic range. Pulse widths available from 2.5ns to 0.5ns.
Detectors designs include both magnetic and discrete dynode technologies.
Capacitor decoupling technology offered which allows a <500ps pulse to be processed with minimal impact on peak shape and line ringing.

Detectors are bespoke, custom designs to be optimized for every system. Please contact our experts to design electron multipliers based on your instrument requirements
