Variable Dispersion Zoom Optics
Plasma 3 utilises our unique field proven Zoom Optics system that removes the necessity for employing adjustable collectors. This provides a highly reliable collector array and allows instantaneous switching between collector configurations, and the use of full size discrete dynode SEMs or Daly detectors. The Zoom Optics system maintains double focussing conditions throughout the operational mass range.
All new ICP source
The ICP source has been designed and engineered to be robust while ensuring maximum stability and reliability during operation. This unique design of ICP source gives the user unrestricted access to the interface area to facilitate ease of use and maintenance
Multiple Daly Detectors
Multiple Daly detectors can be substituted for SEM detectors on Plasma 3; up to three on the standard instrument. A full Daly collector system is also available on the ‘D’ variant of the instrument for the ultimate in ion counting performance. This can include up to six Daly Detectors in addition to the sixteen Faraday cups.
Enhanced Abundance Transfer Optics (EATO)
For the more demanding actinide applications an additional lens element EATO (patent pending) has been designed, easily installed by users without the need to vent the analyser. This device is inserted in to the transfer chamber and provides significant improvement to the abundance sensitivity without compromising transmission or mass bias stability.
