We are developing NaI(Tl) phosphors to use on large-area, photon-counting imaging photomultiplier tubes. An x-ray absorption uniformity of 99% is expected over an area of 133 cm(superscript 2) at a film thickness of 38 +/- 1.5 micrometers . The spatial resolution of the scintillator films, up to 61 micrometers thick, is consistent with a total detector resolution of less than 92 micrometers , given a phototube resolution of 65 micrometers fwhm. The fwhm for 8 keV spots is presented as a function of angle up to 40 degrees off-incidence and a simple model for the broadening of the fwhm due to parallax is presented. Improvements of 20% in the light- collection efficiency were observed for fiber optic disks coated with potassium silicate before vapor-depositing the NaI(Tl). We also present absolute scintillation energy efficiency measurements by comparing our films to the scintillation of single crystal NaI(Tl).
