<p class="MsoNormal">We have an KRI RFICP 220 ion source in an ion milling system that has been run for 10 years. We might need to replace the accelerator grid and learned that the grids are actually discontinued. The whole ion optics assembly should be replaced

<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering if someone knows a cheaper alternative.<o:p></o:p></p>
