| Home made, based on a HVEC KN-3000 type Van de Graaff accelerator with proton beam energy up to 2.5 MeV and energy stability of DE / E = 10-3. The focusing elements of the microprobe (two doublets of magnetic quadrupole lenses) were manufactured in the Micro Analytical Research Centre (MARC, Melbourne, Australia) |
| Energy of protons up to 2.5 MeV |
| Beam spot diameter: about 7 microns at beam current of 100 pA (sufficient for measurements using micro-PIXE or micro-RBS techniques), about 1 nA at beam spot of 10 microns |
| Measurement chamber characteristic: X-ray Si(Li) detector, particle detector, two PIN diode particle detectors for off-axis STIM technique, channeltron for secondary electrons detection, charge collection from sample and from the Faraday cup, CCD camera (side view using a tilt mirror) with 120x objective, sample holder for 4 samples plus callibration sample, variable attenuation filter |
