The search for the ultimate imaging performance in microchannel plate (MCP) detector systems invariably ends in compromise between competing factors in both the operational and performance arenas. We discuss these compromises in the context of the trade-offs made by current state-of-the-art readout

Imaging microchannel plate (MCP) detectors with cross strip (XS) readout anodes require centroiding algorithms to determine the location of the amplified charge cloud from the incident radiation, be it photon or particle. We have developed a massively parallel XS readout electronic system that emplo
A michrochannel plate detector has been used to image tritium-labeled protein on oneand two-dimensional electrophoresis gels. The good spatial resolution (70 microns) and high sensitivity (6.0 dpm/mm 2 ) of the imaging system allows detection of low levels (femto moles) of labelled proteins. We are
