Generally, Wien filters are used for separating charged particle beams by velocity using orthogonally superimposed magnetic and electric fields.
The Wien filter features different entry and exit apertures for defining mass and charge state resolution and for collimating the beam.
They can be used for beam power loads of up to 30 W in broad pressure ranges, down to ultra-high vacuum conditions.

SPecial Features
-
suitable design for operation with high power, large diameter beams of light ions (e.g. helium)
-
apertures of different diameters of up to 15 mm
-
all beam-stressed parts (e.g. electrodes, apertures) can be made of highly sputter resistent materials (e.g. tungsten)
-
broad application range (concerning beam energy and beam diameter) due to availability of magnet yokes of different magnetic flux
-
alternative electric feedthrough options
