Custom Assemblies
We design and manufacture custom assemblies that optimize the performance of our cathodes in the high-temperature, high-voltage, and ultra-high vacuum environments in which they operate.
The APT Advantage in Custom Assemblies
With decades of engineering expertise and a deep understanding of the physics of electron emission and charged particle optics, we work closely with our customers to first understand their requirements, then provide innovative, optimized, and practical solutions.
Featured Product: Carbon Embedded Cathode
Crystals embedded in carbon are protected from source environment ions which can shorten cathode lifetime
Embedded cathodes can be used in X-ray and ion source environments where bombardment is a factor
Graceful aging of crystals within the embedded carbon allows for continuous alignment as the crystal is in use
* Not recommended for CeBix® crystals
Featured Product: Monolithic Graphite
An alternative for thermionic emitters, monolithic graphite provides even heating in a single graphite heater
Crystal mounts are customizable for various crystal shapes and sizes
* Not recommended for CeBix® crystals
