Photek offers high-performance imaging and detection solutions, including open-faced detectors and Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) systems. Our products are designed for the scientific research and instrumentation community. They enable researchers to capture ultrafast, time-resolved phenomena and gain deeper insights into chemical reactions, molecular dynamics, and material characterisation.
Many research applications involve ultrafast events or low-light emissions that conventional detectors cannot capture effectively. Photek’s solutions deliver world-class temporal resolution, exceptional sensitivity, and reliable performance. This enables accurate measurements in even the most demanding experimental environments.

MCP detectors are used at synchrotron facilities for accurate TOF measurements and beam alignment in high-radiation environments. Photek can customise detectors and electronics to meet your requirements.

Photek’s MCP photomultiplier tubes are used in Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors for particle physics. Their high gain and fast timing enable advanced research. Photek’s new MAPMT is supporting the development of next-generation instrumentation.

Velocity Map Imaging (VMI) uses Photek’s MCP detectors to measure the velocity, angular distribution, and mass of charged particles for gas-phase analysis.

Photek’s MCP solutions support advanced material analysis, from image intensifiers for LIBS and LIF to PMTs for Raman spectroscopy. Custom MCP assemblies are also widely used in mass spectrometry for high sensitivity and fast TOF measurements.
