A position sensitive proportional counter with good efficiency and spatial resolution at long wavelengths (greater than 100 A) has been developed. It is to be used as a focal plane image detector in conjunction with grazing incidence optics for the study of low brightness celestial objects in the 10-250 A (XUV) band. The detector features two orthogonal wire grids with associated electronic read-out system providing two-dimensional position resolution and good linearity over an aperture of several centimeters. The read-out system, based on the charge division technique, has been optimized for minimum inherent noise.
