Specific embodiment
It should be noted that in the absence of conflict, the feature in embodiment and embodiment in the invention can To be combined with each other.
In the description of the invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, term " peace Dress ", " connected ", " connection " shall be understood in a broad sense, for example, it may be being fixedly connected, may be a detachable connection, or integrally Connection;It can be mechanical connection, be also possible to be electrically connected;Can be directly connected, can also indirectly connected through an intermediary, It can be the connection inside two elements.For the ordinary skill in the art, on being understood by concrete condition State concrete meaning of the term in the invention.
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments creates.
Dark current is an important indicator of channel electron duplicator, dark current refer to no signal or with can particle it is defeated In the case where entering, the average value or D. C. value of electric current are generated in CEM output end, with symbol IdIt indicates.IdIt is divided into anode Id, cathode Id, dynode Id.Since the avalanche effect of electronics (positive potential) can form a large amount of electronics at the anode of pipe, our usual institutes The dark current said refers to the dark current of anode, therefore the invention measuring circuit mainly measures the dark current of anode.
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of dark current detection circuit 6 of triple level four bars mass spectrograph electron multipliers 1, including electronics increase Times device 1 and it is connected to the cathode power 3 of its tube channel two sides, anode supply 2, the output end of the electron multiplier 1 is logical A shielding line 5 and 6 data connection of detection circuit are crossed, the detection circuit 6 includes current amplifier A1, feedback resistance Rf, and electricity Hold C1, the output end of the electron multiplier 1 is connect with the normal phase input end of current amplifier A1;One end of resistance Rf and electric current The reverse input end of amplifier A1 connects, and the other end is connect with the output end of current amplifier A1, and the capacitor C1 is connected in parallel on The both ends of resistance Rf.
3 use -6000V the power supply of cathode power or+4000V power supply;Anode supply 2 is using higher than cathode voltage 1800 ~3000V power supply.
The anode supply 2 is the power supply that suspends.
The outside of the electron multiplier 1 is arranged shielding box 4.
The shielding box 4 is with ferromagnetic foaming metal nickel shielding box 4.
The current amplifier A1 is AD465 amplifier.
The working principle of the invention:
Wherein, two kinds of power supplys of 3 use -6000 of CEM cathode power or+4000V, are cut according to the negative ions to be detected It changes;
CEM anode supply 2, the power supply use suspension mode, are higher than 1800~3000V of CEM cathode;
The shielding box 4 of channel electron duplicator 1, it is effective to shield extraneous bring electromagnetic interference, it avoids because of electromagnetic interference Test result is influenced, shielding material uses ferromagnetic foaming metal nickel, and foaming metal is the cavity and metal material by being connected to The porous material of skeleton composition, or on the surface layer and inner hole of cavernous body or organic foamed, metallic conduction processing is carried out, Feature in structure is to make electromagnetic wave that multiple reflections and absorption loss occur in cavity, still reachable in the case where very thin thickness To very high shield effectiveness, not only there is good electromagnetic wave shielding using foaming metal nickel but also to can satisfy precision assembly saturating Gas heat dissipation;
Shielding line 5, anti-stop signal are interfered during transmission;
The detection circuit 6 of dark current, the circuit use Current amplifier type amplifier translation circuit, and current amplifier is hindered because of input Resist low and response speed is higher, noise is lower, and signal-to-noise ratio is high, so being widely used in the transformation of low light signals.
As shown in Fig. 2, the output end of channel electron duplicator 1, accesses the in-phase end of operational amplifier AD645, operation is put The input impedance of in-phase end and backward end in big device, that is, the load resistance of duplicator output end, are denoted as ZS, indicate are as follows:
