PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
q
Avoid touching the MCP or MCP assem-
bly with bare hands.
q
Handle the MCP only in a clean room
since dust and humidity may adversely
affect MCP characteristics.
q
The MCP should be operated in vacuum
below 1.33 x 10
-4
Pa(1
×
10
-6
torr).
q
The MCP should be kept in vacuum or dry
nitrogen gas atmosphere during long
periods of storage.
q
When outgassing from the MCP occurs,
baking the MCP at 400°C maximum in a
vacuum system is recommended. In ad-
dition electron bombarding may be effec-
tive.
