Photonis Scientific’s Time of Flight (TOF) detectors support some of the world’s most sensitive Time of Flight-Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-MS) applications. Its patented technologies and distinct MCPs ensure optimum temporal resolution, excellent mass sensitivity, unmatched lifetime and superb dynamic range; enabling mass spectrometers to be optimized with the best detector on the market, no matter the … Continue reading
The Planacon™ square-shaped MCP-PMTs from Photonis have been selected as the photosensors for the Barrel DIRC detector of the PANDA experiment. (PANDA is an acronym of antiProton ANnihilation at DArmstadt.) PANDA is a large particle physics experiment at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR), an accelerator complex under construction in Darmstadt. Figure 1 shows … Continue reading
Thirty years ago on April 24th, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched with the Hubble Telescope on board. In the years since, scientists around the world have uncovered mysteries of the universe through the information Hubble has gathered. When this iconic telescope was launched into outer space, Photonis was on board with its long-lasting, large format … Continue reading
Planacons from Photonis provide superior immunity to magnetic influence, down to 2T, while providing high quality images. Planacon brings all the high speed, single photon counting features of a traditionally round MCP-PMT, while providing a square sensor, allowing multiple sensors to be tiled together to image large areas. Planacons are available in two sizes, 53 … Continue reading
For over thirty years, Photonis (formerly Philips Photonics, Galileo and Burle) has consistently set the standard in electron multipliers and related products. Today, an extensive R&D program coupled with unsurpassed expertise in microchannel plate (MCP) technology continues to deliver a succession of product and process improvements that push aside previous technology limits. This expertise is … Continue reading
Photonis introduces a new high performance Micro-Channel Plate Photomultiplier Tube (MCP-PMT) optimized for LIDAR applications requiring fast timing and high dynamic range. The new Photonis MCP-PMTs enable detection from a single photon to a few GHz while in photon burst mode, and a few 100 MHz in continuous illumination, thanks to the high linearity properties. … Continue reading
