Description
Perkin-Elmer Physical Electronics ABS Preamplifier Model 99 Faraday Cup 60904311
The Perkin-Elmer Physical Electronics ABS Preamplifier Model 99 is a signal conditioning module designed to amplify low-level ion beam currents from a Faraday Cup or sample in surface analysis instrumentation. It provides a front-end Sample/Faraday Cup selection function and delivers a conditioned ABS (Absolute Beam Signal) output for downstream measurement electronics. The unit is housed in a compact, shielded aluminum enclosure and is made in the U.S.A. at Perkin-Elmer Physical Electronics' Eden Prairie, Minnesota facility.

Applications
The Model 99 ABS Preamplifier is a component of Perkin-Elmer Physical Electronics surface analysis systems — instruments used for techniques such as Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS/ESCA), and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS). In these systems, a Faraday Cup is used to measure primary ion beam current, and a preamplifier like this module amplifies the extremely small collected currents (typically in the picoampere to nanoampere range) to a usable signal level before it reaches the system's measurement electronics. The Sample/Faraday Cup switch allows the operator to select between measuring beam current at the sample or at the dedicated Faraday Cup without changing cables. Physical Electronics (a division of Perkin-Elmer through the 1980s and 1990s, later spun off as Physical Electronics Inc./PHI) produced a widely-used line of surface analysis workstations, and modules like this preamplifier are actively sought as replacement and spare parts for those systems still in service in semiconductor research, materials characterization, and failure analysis labs.
This Perkin-Elmer Physical Electronics ABS Preamplifier Model 99 (P/N 60904311) has been inspected and appears to be in good used condition. It was pulled from a working surface analysis environment where it was previously in service. The enclosure is clean with light handling wear typical of lab equipment. The BNC input cables (J1 ION, J2 TGT) and the J4 DB15 power connector and J3 ABS Out circular connector all appear intact and undamaged. The Sample/Faraday Cup selector switch operates smoothly.
