  2. Micropattern gaseous detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropattern_gaseous_detector

    Micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) are a group of gaseous ionization detectors consisting of microelectronic structures with sub-millimeter distances between anode and cathode electrodes. When interacting with the gaseous medium of the detector, particles of ionizing radiation create electrons and ions that are subsequently drifted apart by ...

  3. Gaseous detection device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_detection_device

    Efficiency characteristics of gaseous detection device in ESEM. The principles outlined above are best described by considering plane electrodes biased to form a uniform electric field, such as shown in the accompanying diagram of GDD-principle. The electron beam striking the specimen at the cathode effectively creates a point source of SE and BSE.

  4. MicroMegas detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micromegas_detector

    The MicroMegas detector (Micro-Mesh Gaseous Structure) is a gaseous particle detector and an advancement of the wire chamber.Invented in 1996 by Georges Charpak and Ioannis Giomataris, [1] Micromegas detectors are mainly used in experimental physics, in particular in particle physics, nuclear physics and astrophysics for the detection of ionizing particles.

  5. Gaseous ionization detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaseous_ionization_detector

    The disadvantages are that anode wires are delicate and can lose efficiency in gas flow detectors due to deposition, the efficiency and operation affected by ingress of oxygen into fill gas, and measurement windows easily damaged in large area detectors. Micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) are high granularity gaseous detectors with sub ...

  6. Environmental scanning electron microscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_scanning...

    In a simple form, the gaseous detection device (GDD) employs an electrode with a voltage up to several hundred volts to collect the secondary electrons in the ESEM. The principle of this SE detector is best described by considering two parallel plates at a distance d apart with a potential difference V generating a uniform electric field E = V ...

  7. Gas detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_detector

    A gas detector can sound an alarm to operators in the area where the leak is occurring, giving them the opportunity to leave. This type of device is important because there are many gases that can be harmful to organic life, such as humans or animals. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion.

  8. Air pollution measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_pollution_measurement

    The earliest devices used to measure pollution include rain gauges (in studies of acid rain), Ringelmann charts for measuring smoke, and simple soot and dust collectors known as deposit gauges. [1] Modern air pollution measurement is largely automated and carried out using many different devices and techniques.

  9. Helium mass spectrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helium_mass_spectrometer

    If the part is leaky, helium will be able to penetrate the device. Later the device will be placed in a vacuum chamber, connected to a vacuum pump and a mass spectrometer. The tiny amount of gas that entered the device under pressure will be released in the vacuum chamber and sent to the mass spectrometer where the leak rate will be measured.
