Leybold Paul Trap

Function model of an ion trap as designed by E. Paul. Rotating cylindrical housing on rod for mounting on the optical bench. Stable enclosure of charged reflecting particles suspended between the electrodes (Paul trap).
The paths of the reflecting particles can be observed by scattering laser light by the particles. The potential curve in the trap can be observed axially by applying a potential difference between the outside electrodes and radially by rotating the cylinder housing.

• Connections:
  three 4-mm safety sockets for spherical outer electrodes and toroidal middle electrode
• Operating voltages:
  800 V - 1500 V AC, 50 Hz
  0 V - 450 V DC

10 g reflecting particles and wooden stick for adding the reflecting particles.
