Study of microchannel plate intensifiers for image photon counting
Abstract
Techniques for the construction of an image intensifier incorporating a microchannel plate were studied. The performance of the microchannel plate resulting in a theoretical specification is discussed. The proposed design of an image tube incorporating the plate is given. The theoretical specification of the complete image intensifier is outlined. The performance is compatible with the requirements of a high quality image photon counting detector.
