Single Anode Delayline Detectors

Microchannel plate based detector packages with a single, two dimensional meander structured delayline anode for position and time resolved detection of electrons, ions and photons with sub-ns time resolution and µm spatial resolution.

The delayline detectors are available with different active areas and are mounted on standard CF flanges with feedthroughs for signal transfer and HV supply.

They come as complete packages including analogue readout electronics, time-to-digital converter, software package and optional HV power supply for a plug and play installation and operation.
