Help Requested

Hello SNF Users,

I'm a grad student in Stacey Bent's lab in the ChE department.  I'm looking for a MegaOhmMeter that I could borrow for about an hour.  I don't mean a multimeter that measures megaohms or an impedance analyzer.  I mean specifically a device that can apply up to 1 kV across an insulative material and measure the resulting small current that would flow through it (and calculate the resistance) if it were defective.  I badly need this device to check whether or not the anode of our XPS gun is shorted to ground.  Until we can determine if the problem is with our gun or our gun controller, we cannot proceed with troubleshooting/repair.

Thank you so much,
Jessica Kachian

P.S.  An example of a MegaOhmMeter can be found here http://www.yesco.net/megaohmmeter.htm
