  • Abstract
    The development of compact imaging photon detectors is of great importance to several scientific disciplines, in particular observational astronomy. Here we show how recent advances can be used to design a detector with superior specifications to existing devices. Of particular importance are the recent improvements in Wedge and Strip anode readouts which offer significant advantages in terms of position resolution, detector lifetime and simplicity of design.
