Abstract

In the present paper, we describe X-ray images obtained using planar, square pore MCPs in `point-to-point' focusing mode. Angular resolution of 5 arcminutes fwhm has now been measured for full-field illumination of a hydrogen-reduced Galileo MCP (29 mm active diameter; approximately 44,000 active channels). Secondly, we report some preliminary metrology of square-pore microchannel plates using atomic force, scanning electron and optical microscopies. Finally, we extend our study of spherically-slumped, round-pore Philips MCPs operated as X-ray `beam expanders'.
