The
AXIS Ultra DLD integrates the Kratos patented
magnetic immersion lens and charge neutralisation system with the
spherical mirror and concentric hemispherical analysers. Combined
with the newly developed delay-line detector (DLD) for both imaging
and spectroscopy the AXIS Ultra DLD is the very best spectrometer
for analysts requiring unsurpassed performance.
The hemispherical analyser provides both high energy
resolution and high sensitivity spectroscopic performance. Exceptional
small spot capabilities (<15µm) ar achieved via a series af selected
area apertures used in combination with the magnetic and electrostatic
lenses. In parallel imaging mode photoelectrons are transferred
to the patented spherical mirror analyser which produces real time
chemical state images with better than 3µm spatial resolution.
The delay-line detector, comprising a multi-channel
plate stack above a delay-line anode, is used for photoelectron
detection in both spectroscopy and imaging mode With over 100 detector
channels the DLD can also be use to acquire unscanned or 'snapshot'
small spot spectra in a matter of seconds. Genuine pulse counting
in 2D imaging mode means that quantitative parallel images can now
be generated allowing greater insight into the lateral distribution
of chemical species at the surface. |
