Abstract: A permanent magnet assembly for use in for example magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprises two spaced apart permanent magnets (1,2) which extend between two plates (3,4) of high permeability material. The permanent magnets and plates define a frame extending around an air gap (5) within which a honmogenous magnetic flux is to be generated. The permanent magnets (1,2) define end surfaces which bear against mating surfaces of the plates and poles of the permanent magnets of the same polarity face the same plate. The end surfaces of the permanent magnets are non-planar and shaped such that the lengths of inner side surfaces (10,11) of the permanent magnets that form sides of the air gap (5) are less than the length of outer side surfaces (12,13).

Abstract: A method of fabricating an electron multiplier array in which a plurality of apertures are etched through a construct (20) of a dynode layer (11) and an electrical-insulating layer (12) with a jet of hard powders (22). The construct (20) is then divided into smaller discrete segments and stacked such that the apertures in adjacent segments align to form channels. Alternatively, rather than dividing the construct (20) into smaller segments, a plurality of constructs (20) may instead be stacked to create a large-area electron multiplier array.

Abstract: The terahertz camera has a fixed objective lens (2) and a plurality of detectors (3) positioned at the focal plane of the objective lens (2). Each of the detectors (3) is mounted on a movable support (10) so that the antenna is capable of movement across the focal plane of the objective lens (2) and is provided with a flexible waveguide (4) for connecting the output of the detector (3) with signal processing means. Each detector (3) is also provided with a retroreflector (6) which is reflective at frequencies other than terahertz frequencies. During use of the camera, the retroreflector (6) of each detector (3) is illuminated at non-terahertz frequencies so that the spatial position of each detector (3) and hence the spatial source of signals generated by the detector can be accurately identified. The terahertz camera is particularly suited for use in security installations and in chemical and food processing industries.
