BOS-75

In standard form, the model BOS-75 Beam Observation system has a 75mm diameter active area MCP and P-43 phosphor screen assembly, attached to a 8.00″ (203mm) conflat flange with glass viewport. Electrical connections to the phosphor screen and MCP are made with MHV feedthroughs.

Optional Equipment

P-43 is standard.

The MCP/Phosphor screen assemblies used by the BOS-18 are available separately. P-43 is standard. Use comments to change.

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 below. More info below

A fiberoptic faceplate for the vacuum window is the optical equivalent of a zero thickness window. More info below

Please use these criteria when determining number of attenuation grids needed:

  • Ion beams greater than 3.2 nA/mm2, 90% beam attenuation (1 grid)
  • Ion beams greater than 31.8 nA/mm2, 99% beam attenuation (2 grids)
  • Ion beams greater than 318.nA/mm2, 99.9% beam attenuation (3 grids)

Product Schematics

Optional Equipment

Dual MCP systems, MCP Coatings and MCP Type:

  • Model BOS-75 with BOS-75-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-75 are available separately.

BOS-75-CH-IDA (75mm Dual MCP with P-43 Phosphor Screen)

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.

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.w
