High resolution two dimensional readout of microchannel plates with large area delay lines

A large-area (140 mm*140 mm) delay line anode has been used to read out microchannel plates (MCPs) at high resolution. Two-dimensional images in which the individual MCP microchannels were resolved were made at an MCP charge of 2.4*10/sup 7/ e. A FWHM resolution of approximately 18 mu m has been demonstrated.<
