BURLE Electro-Optics Announces 40 mm Diameter BiPolar Time-of-Flight
Detector for Mass Spectrometry Applications

Sturbridge, MA – August 20, 2004 – BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc. announces its new patented high performance, high speed BiPolar Time-of-Flight detector for Mass Spectrometry applications. This detector offers levels of sensitivity, temporal resolution, dynamic range, and high mass detection currently not available in the market. In addition to its large 40 mm diameter (12.5 cm2) detection area and up to 10 kV post acceleration, it offers BURLE’s exclusive Extended Dynamic Range™ small pore Microchannel Plates (MCPs) with high channel densities.

The new detector is enclosed in a low-profile assembly combining a highly sensitive Microchannel Plate and electro-optically isolated output signal. It is available separately for flight tube mounting, unmounted, or on a conflat flange.

A unique feature of the new detector is its flat MCP input surface. It can be biased up to ±10 kV to enhance detection of high mass, positive or negative ions. In addition, a proprietary enhancement coating is added to the ion conversion surface for greater conversion efficiency. The detector offers system gains up to 107 and excellent temporal bi-polar resolution.

BURLE’s Quick-Fit® replaceable MCP cartridge makes maintenance easy and fast. These cartridges include a Long-Life™ MCP and a high voltage transmission grid mounted in a rugged module. The module can be replaced easily and quickly with minimum downtime.

The addition of BURLE Electro-Optics’ patented 40 mm BiPolar Time-of-Flight Detector rounds out the largest selection of Time-of-Flight detectors available in the world with 18 models in sizes ranging from 8 mm to 40 mm.

BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc., headquartered in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, is the world leader in Time-of-Flight detector technology and offers the highest temporal resolution detectors for both ADC and TDC based systems. A pioneer in developing scientific detector products, the company is recognized as the worldwide leader in electron multiplication technology for its Channeltron® Mass Spectrometer Detectors, Long-Life™ Microchannel Plates and Advanced Performance Detectors.

New Bench-Top Power Supply for MCP Based Photomultipliers Now In-Stock

Lancaster, PA – April 5, 2004 – BURLE INDUSTRIES, INC. announces its newest high voltage power supply designed for MCP based photomultipliers is now in-stock and ready for online ordering or though BURLE Customer Service. The PF1056 is a high precision analog programmable power supply ideally suited for laboratory or test environments. It provides output up to -5000 V at 667 µa. while offering excellent stability and low ripple suitable for the most demanding MCP-PMT applications.

The PF1056 offers excellent stability and low ripple suitable for the most demanding MCP-PMT applications. With its analog I/O, it lends itself to automated test and calibration type applications. Its built-in safeguards protect sensors against repetitive discharge events by shutting down and presenting a logic level indicating the event.

The PF1056 offers both precision and performance in a compact unit providing clean repeatable output voltage monitored clearly on the front panel. Technical specifications include ripple <15 mV, line and load regulation <0.01%, drift <0.02%/day and a temperature coefficient of ±100 ppm/°C.

Other important features incorporated into the unit include disabling output remotely so that it may be interlocked to a user process. CE Certification is pending.

For additional product and ordering information concerning the PF1056 Power Supply contact BURLE INDUSTRIES, INC. 1000 New Holland Avenue, Lancaster, PA 17601-5688 USA; 800-366-2875, 717-295-6888, International Calls: 717-295-6773, Fax: 717-295-6096, E-Mail: burlesls@burle.com; web site: www.burle.com

Electronic Imaging Detector System Provides Visual Images
of Charged Particles and Ultraviolet Radiation

Sturbridge, MA – February 11, 2004 – BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc. announces the development and offering of a new detector system that allows experimenters and designers to determine the location, shape, and size of a charged particle or UV beam. It is ideal for ion beam profiling in instrument design or high-energy physics experiments and verifying ion optic models.

BURLE’s new Electronic Imaging Detector System consists of a 25mm active diameter Microchannel plate detector mounted on a conflat flange. The Microchannel plates (MCPs) detects and amplify ion or photon events by producing a shower of electrons in the position of the input event. The resultant shower of electrons is converted to an optical image by a fiber optic phosphor screen. This image is then captured by an integral CCD camera and then sent to a frame grabber allowing the user to manipulate and archive frames to their PC.

The entire system includes the detector assembly with the CCD camera already mounted, the frame grabber board (for installation into your PC) and software.

BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc., headquartered in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, is the world leader in Time-of-Flight detector technology, offering the highest temporal resolution detectors for both ADC and TDC based systems. A pioneer in developing scientific detector products, the company is recognized as the worldwide leader in electron multiplication technology for its Channeltron?® Mass Spectrometer Detectors, Long-Life™ Microchannel Plates and Advanced Performance Detectors.

For general information, specifications and pricing for the Electronic Imaging Detector, please contact BURLE Electro-Optics, Inc. at 1-800-648-1800 or 1-508-347-4000 email: sales@burle-eo.com.
