LEED 600 MCP (Model BDL600IR-MCP)

Compact LEED for Organic Films & Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Conventional back-display LEED-AES spectrometer featuring unique design, performance and gain power of microchannel plates.

Description

The LEED 600 MCP has LEED and AES capabilities using a miniature electron gun, set of concentric grids and a conductive, phosphor coated screen. In addition, this optic model incorporates the high gain of microchannel plates. It is an extremely reliable high-performance LEED instrument which operates with up to date digital power supply. The retraction mechanism has outstanding mechanical properties ensuring smooth day-to-day operation as experienced by our large user base over decades. The wide viewing angle (92° at 51mm sample distance) and minimal shadowing of the screen by the miniature electron gun give a maximum visible LEED pattern.


Features

  • High Image Sensitivity at the Primary Beam Current – 50 pA
  • Single/Dual 75 mm Microchannel Plates
  • AES at Beam Current 50 µA – 10 µA
  • Large Angle (92°) Fluorescent LEED Display and superior magnetic shielding
  • Miniature electron gun with large coherence width and dual lenses
  • Suitable for ESDIAD
  • Convenient LEED Image Capture with External CCD Camera
  • Simple and Powerful Operation with Digital Controller

Applications

The LEED 600 MCP is especially good at providing LEED and AES data of organic samples. The compact size allows for easy installation to smaller UHV systems and the gain from the MCPs allows for better focusing of LEED imaging.

Configuration Guide

The LEED 600 MCP optics is controlled using either a LPS075-D or LPS300-D power supply. The LPS075-D is used to operate the optic in LEED mode only whereas the LPS300-D in conjunction with the LOA10-AES lock-in controller and AUS30 input coupler is used to operate the optics in LEED and AES modes. LaB6 filament (Model LaB6) is an option.
