HAMAMATSU F6492 Datasheet

Very Long (Effective Area: 127 4mm)

This new long-scale MCP allows for continuous detection
of wide range position information without dead space cor­rection. This new configuration promises reliable measure­ment, and is well suited for double-focusing mass spec­trometers. Assembled configurations are also available
upon request.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Avoid touching the MCP or MCP assembly with
bare hands.

Handle the MCP only in a clean room since dust

characteristics.
The MCP should be operated in vacuum below

1.33 10-4 Pa (1 10-6 torr).
The MCP should be kept in vacuum or dry nitrogen

gas atmosphere during long periods of storage.
When outgassing from the MCP occurs, baking the

MCP at 350 C maximum in a vacuum system is
recommended. In addition electron bombarding
may be effective.
