BOS-18 Beam Observation System

                          

                    Model BOS-18 with optional fiberoptic window and SHV feedthroughs

 

In standard form, the model BOS-18 Beam Observation system has a 18mm diameter active area MCP and P-43 phosphor screen assembly, housed within a 2.75" (70mm) conflat flange with glass viewport. Electrical connections to the phosophor screen and MCP are made with MHV feedthroughs.

Optional configurations are discussed in detail below and include dual MCP plates (chevron), SHV feedthroughs, fiberoptic windows, and CCD camera systems.

BOS-18 SPECIFICATIONS

Imaging Area:

18mm Diameter

MCP: (Standard)

  • 0.975" Diam. (BOS-18), 10 micron channel diameter, Imaging Grade
  • 18mm active area, 12 micron pitch, 5° Bias Angle, 40:1 Aspect Ratio (Standard, BOS-18) 
  • Max. Gain:  2 x 104 (single plate, Std.) 1000V  > 107 (chevron, OPT-01), 2000V         

Phosphor Screen (Standard)

  • P-43 with aluminum overcoat. P-43 Peak Wavelength: λ= 545 nm.

Power Supply Requirements:

  • 0 - + 1000V, 1mA single MCP (Standard) 
  • 0 - + 2000V, 1mA dual MCP (OPT-01)                                                                                                
  • 0 - + 5000V, 1 mA Phosphor Screen                

Beam Energy Range:  

  • 1 eV to over 50 keV

Beam Current Range:   

  • < 10 μA (with optional beam attenuation grids)                                    

Vacuum:  1 x 10-6 Torr or better required to operate MCP

  • UHV compatible, maximum bakeout temperature 300 C  

Welded Glass Windows (Standard)

  • A non-removable glass window that is welded to the flange is standard. This allows bakeout temperatures > 200C.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

Dual MCP systems, MCP Coatings and MCP Type:

  • Model BOS-18 with BOS-18-OPT-01 dual MCP option
  • MCPs with optional coating for enhanced imaging of UV and X-rays (KBr, CsI, Cu, CuI, MgO, Au,MgF2)          
  • MCPs with high gain and resolution 
  • MCPs with matched characteristic impedance

PHOSPHOR SCREEN

P-43 is standard but other phosphors are available and include including P1, P11, P15, P20, P22, P24, P31, P45, P46, P47, P48, and P53. See our phosphor screen page for more information. Screens have a standard aluminum overcoat but Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) undercoating is also available.

Stand alone MCP/Phosphor assemblies (IDA)  (Optional)    

The MCP/Phosphor screen assemblies used by the BOS-18 are available separately.  

                 

Model BOS-18-CH-IDA (18mm dual MCP with P-43 phosphor screen)

Extended Platform Mounts  (Optional)    

The MCP/Phosphor screen assemblies can be mounted on an extended platform at a specific distance from the vacuum sealing surface or BOS window. This distance is specified by the customer (NOTE: Model BOS-40 is shown below, but model BOS-18 with extended platform will look similar).

 

Coherent Fiberoptic Windows (Optional)

Using a fiberoptic faceplate for the vacuum window is the optical equivalent of a zero thickness window.  Phosphor is coated on the vacuum side surface of the fiberoptic window. The image created at the surface of the phosphor is transmitted through the optical fibers of the window to the front surface  (air side) of the window by for easy viewing of the image by eye or mountable camera systems. This design allows the phosophor screen to be removed and re-coated or replaced with a different kind of phosphor, without having to remove the MCP assembly.

Model BOS-18-FO with optional SHV-B feedthrough for phosphor screen and SHV feedthroughs for MCP connections.

Image Processing Systems   (Optional)    

           Model IPS-1 (Frame grabber (PCI bus), cables, software)

Power Supplies   (Optional)    

           Model MCPPS-1 (MCP Power Supply, Single MCP, 0-1kV)         

           Model MCPPS-2 (MCP Power Supply, Dual MCP, 0-2kV)         

           Model PHSPS-1 (Phosphor Screen Power Supply, 0-5kV)         

Removeable Glass Windows               

          BOS-18, 25mm Dia., 3mm thick, BK7, Pyrex, Fused Silca, Sapphire

Miscellaneous Options

           SHV, SHV-B, BNC Fedthroughs, Electron suppression grids

           Beam attenuation grids (90%, 99%, 99.9%)

                Please use these criteria when determining number of attenuation grids needed:

    • Ion beams greater than 3.2 nA/mm2, 90% beam attenuation (1 grid)
    • Ion beams greater than 31.8 nA/mm2, 99% beam attenuation (2 grids)
    • Ion beams greater than 318.nA/mm2, 99.9% beam attenuation (3 grids)
