An optical beam smoke detector is a device that uses a projected beam of light to detect smoke across large areas, [1] typically as an indicator of fire. [2] They are used to detect fires in buildings where standard point smoke detectors would either be uneconomical [ 3 ] or restricted for use by the height of the building.
Elastic recoil detection analysis was originally developed for hydrogen detection [17] or a light element (H, He, Li, C, O, Mg, K) profiling with an absorber foil in front of the energy detector for beam suppression. [1] Using an absorber foil prevents the higher energy ion beam from striking the detector and causing degradation.
Axial bright-field detectors are located in the centre of the cone of illumination of the transmitted beam, and are often used to provide complementary images to those obtained by ADF imaging. [12] Annular bright-field detectors, located within the cone of illumination of the transmitted beam, have been used to obtain atomic resolution images ...
An account of the early history of scanning electron microscopy has been presented by McMullan. [2] [3] Although Max Knoll produced a photo with a 50 mm object-field-width showing channeling contrast by the use of an electron beam scanner, [4] it was Manfred von Ardenne who in 1937 invented [5] a microscope with high resolution by scanning a very small raster with a demagnified and finely ...
In this region, a beam of light crosses the column of analyte and the scattering of light is measured by a photodiode or photomultiplier tube. The detector's output is non-linear across more than one order of magnitude and proper calibration is required for quantitative analysis.
AFM beam-deflection detection The most common method for cantilever-deflection measurements is the beam-deflection method. In this method, laser light from a solid-state diode is reflected off the back of the cantilever and collected by a position-sensitive detector (PSD) consisting of two closely spaced photodiodes , whose output signal is ...
Detection limits may vary greatly with the cross section of the core state of interest and the background signal level. In general, photoelectron cross sections increase with atomic number. The background increases with the atomic number of the matrix constituents as well as the binding energy, because of secondary emitted electrons.
Scanning coils are used to deflect the beam, such as by an electrostatic shift of the beam, where the beam is then collected using a current detector such as a Faraday cup, which acts as a direct electron counter. By correlating the electron count to the position of the scanning beam (known as the "probe"), the transmitted component of the beam ...
