  • Sensitivity proportional counter window
    Patent number: 4178509
    Abstract: An improved sealed proportional counter window for an X-ray spectrometer includes a metallic foil having high X-ray transmission characteristics and having an ultra thin plastic coating thereon for sealing the inherent porosity of the metallic foil. The plastic coated foil is suitably supported by an arrangement which provides a relatively high percentage of unobstructed counter window area.

  • Ion gating grid
    Patent number: 4150319
    Abstract: A grid gates a stream of ions when a D.C. potential is applied between two sets of interdigitated wires included in the grid to produce a D.C. field. The improved grid disclosed herein contains the two sets of interdigitated wires in a single plane so that the D.C. field is precisely normal to the ion current flow direction to prevent a residual ion current flow when the grid provides the gating effect.
