Electron Source Power Supply ES40-PS
Allows fine adjustment of electron beam energy, density, position on the sample and also beam profile.
Manufacturer
Prevac
Prevac are a world leader in the design and production of analytical and deposit scientific and research equipment. Their systems operate in a high and ultra high vacuum environment. They design and construct UHV and HV systems fully adapted to the individual requirements of research projects and industrial applications.

Description
Scanning features allows for independently controlled scanning speed and range. All settings can be manually adjusted or can be stored and recalled automatically after unit switch on. The unit also features a built in timer and automatic standby mode. The ES40-PS can be supplied as a full width 19″ rack mounting unit (3U height) or free standing. Easy firmware update via USB port. Unit can be remotely controlled via RS232/485 or Ethernet interfaces. Autosave function for saving your parameters/unit preset and applying them automatically after restart.
