Scientific paper

Recent advances in basic microchannel plate detector technology include new photocathodes such as diamond and GaN with high UV efficiency (up to >50%), silicon-based microchannel plates with low fixed pattern noise and background event rates less than 0.02eventscm-2s-1. In combination with cross-strip photon counting readouts with spatial resolutions of <5μm at low gain (4×105) these advances offer considerable performance improvements in future astronomical instruments.
