Description
The UVS 40A2 is used in UPS (ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy) research. The UVS is water cooled for maximum stability and features fully interlocked safety circuitry. The discharge has a maximum photon intensity at a pressure of several mbar so dual differential pumping stages are employed in order to maintain the host chamber pressure. The UVS 40A2 is designed so that a continuous gas flow is maintained through the discharge region. This is a great advantage in maintaining the cleanliness of the discharge capillary and results in very long service intervals.
