  • Abstract
    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 2.4×107 e. A FWHM resolution of ~18 μm has been demonstrated
