Product Overview
In standard form, the model BOS-25 Beam Observation system has a 25mm diameter active area MCP and P-43 phosphor screen assembly, housed within a 4.50″ (114mm) 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 6″ (152mm) flange mount (BOS-25-6), dual MCP plates (chevron), SHV feedthroughs, fiberoptic windows, and CCD camera systems.

Optional Equipment
6″ Flange Mount (BOS-25-6)
The model BOS-25 is available with a 6″ (152mm) flange mount. Feedthroughs are available on edge of flange, or out of the face of the flange (see welded glass window version above) . A welded glass window is standard, with optional removable fiberoptic window version (BOS-25-6/FO) and 3-3/8″ conflat window (BOS-25-6/3.38) version.
BOS-25-6 (Standard) With Welded Glass Window
Dual MCP systems, MCP Coatings and MCP Type:
- Model BOS-25 with BOS-25-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-40 are available separately.
BOS-25-CH-IDA (25mm 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 . BOS-40 systems with extended platforms are shown below.
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 phosphor screen to be removed and re-coated or replaced with a different kind of phosphor, without having to remove the MCP assembly.
BOS-25-6-FO
Image Processing Systems (Optional)
