PHOTONIS offers a complete range and high performance scientific detector products. It includes electron multipliers, microchannel plates, advanced performance, and time-of-flight detectors, photomultiplier tubes, and other related products.

Our detection products are found in most of today's technology-based markets including analytical instrumentation, medical diagnostics, chemistry, and scientific research.

PHOTONIS is the largest supplier of standard, retrofit, and custom detectors in the mass spectrometry, residual gas analyzer, and electron microscope markets providing advanced detector designs for the highest sensitivity through superior signal collection and noise reduction.

An extensive R&D program coupled with unsurpassed expertise in long-life microchannel plate technology provides continuous improvements that surpass previous limits. This benefits our customers by providing further improvements in sensitivity, temporal and spatial resolution, stability, dynamic range, and longer life. In addition to higher performance, we are developing new technologies and detectors for smaller size, lower cost, and higher-pressure operation. We will also add value by supplying more of the detector assemblies and integrated detector solutions.
