On the Torr Scientific stand we displayed many parts from our standard and custom product range, these included AR‑coated fused silica viewports, ZnSe viewports, coated CVD diamonds, phosphor screens, glass tubulations, Brewster windows, biological sensors, and X‑ray anodes. The stand was manned by Pat Brown (General Manager) and Phil Marston (Business Development Manager).
We also had a special assembled display of an MOT (magento-optical trap) chamber coupled to a new Torr developmental ion pump and a glass quantum cell. The MOT chamber included two indium‑sealed AR‑coated large windows and a series of 7 CF mini-flanges with AR coatings. Our stand was visited by a wide range of new and existing customers from different technical backgrounds throughout the 3 days of the exhibition.
The final summary of the show was 1,588 exhibitors, 24,000 visitors from 75 different countries and over 5,000 technical presentations given during the event.
