DISMANTLING THE MAGNET ASSEMBLY
Caution: magnets are brittle and easily chipped. Do not allow the magnets
to collide with each other under their own attraction. A damaged magnet
will adversely affect the operation of the ion source.
1. Prise the pole shoe from the end of the assembly.
2. Remove the grub screw (item 42) from the magnet housing.
3. Remove the magnet slug from the housing. Make a note of the magnet orientation.
ASSEMBLY OF THE ION SOURCE
Caution: wear gloves during this operation to avoid contamination.
The assembly of the ion source is largely the reverse of disassembly. Carry out the following
steps, outlined in detail below:
Folding photo-etched components.
Rebuilding the ion box assembly
Rebuilding the trap assembly.
Rebuilding the magnet assembly.
Rebuilding the stack.
