Scientific paper

An advanced two-dimensional photon counting system employing a Resistive Anode Image Converter, Ranicon, has been developed and tested for use on ground-based telescopes. It can obtain two-dimensional images over a 25-mm diameter active area with 35-40 micron FWHM overall spatial resolution and less than ms time resolution. The entire near-UV, optical, and near-IR range can be covered with the use of bialkali, S-20, and GaAs photocathodes at overall sensitivities of 10-20 percent. Its basic operating characteristics and results of field trials are presented and discussed with special emphasis on its applications to time resolved imaging.
