MOS Housings

k-Space provides two standard types of MOS systems:

    (Note: 3-D models linked below require Windows® Internet Explorer® and installing eDrawings® when prompted.)

  • Normal incidence single port configuration ( 3-D model , 2-D pdf )

  • Two-port configuration, consisting of a laser housing ( 3-D model , 2-D pdf )and a detector housing ( 3-D model , 2-D pdf )

We also ofter custom mounts to accommodate any chamber configuration. In addition, bench-top, ex-situ MOS systems are also available (as MOS or see MOS Ultra-Scan).

Application Notes

kSA MOS Application Notes are documents written about a specific component or components of the kSA MOS thin-film stress system. These documents are designed to explain details of the kSA MOS capabilities and aid the user in maximizing the utility of the system. k-Space User Manuals are available for download as well by contacting us.

Note that some documents contain proprietary information, and therefore are password protected. If you are a k-Space customer, please email us requesting a username and password, and we will respond via email with a proper username and password, allowing you access to the document.

There are no application notes at this time.
