8” 40µm MCP Pair Photon Counting Test Top MCP 100 MΩ in air ~400MΩ in vacuum XDL detector with pair, 0.003” spacer Bottom MCP has corner Missing, 25 MΩ
8” 40µm MCP Pair Photon counting Tests Zoom in – see multifibers FIRST IMAGE - stripes due to anode/charge cloud too small –fix : have just rebuilt with 0.7mm biasable, spacer. Broken off corner on bottom MCP. Anode – X, photon pulses Gain ~106, <500µm resolution
