RECTANGULAR MCP AND ASSEMBLY SERIES
A microchannel plate (MCP) is a secondary electron multiplier consisting of an array of glass capillaries (channels) fused into the form of a thin plate. Each channel has an internal diameter of 6 µm to 25 µm and works as an independent electron multiplier, making possible the detection and amplification of two-dimensional information.
In addition to previously available circular-type MCPs, Hamamatsu has available seven types of rectangular MCPs. Of these, three standard types include demountable assemblies which have electrode leads and read-out devices. Using these, it is possible to alleviate dimensional limitations encountered when building the MCPs into instruments as compared with circular types, greatly facilitating the effective use of these devices. The demountable assembly can be selected as combinations of MCPs (1 to 3 stage) and a read-out device (singleanode, multi-anode or phosphor screen). Making possible the selection of the most suitable configuration for your application, while facilitating replacement as well.

AThis indicator shows the MCP input side and the direction of channel bias.
The F2806-01 has bias angle of opposite direction against the perpendicular line shown in the figure.
BThe strip current is the current which flows along the channel wall when a voltage is supplied between the MCP input and output and is given by Supply voltage/Plate resistance.
C At a vacuum of 1.3 × 10-4 Pa (1 × 10-6 Torr) or less.
