Scientific paper

The microchannel plate-based High Resolution Imager (HRI) is one of the focal plane instruments of the Rosat X-ray telescope that was launched on 1 June 1990. The calibration of the HRI is reported and preliminary results from the in-orbit calibration are presented. The quantum efficiency of the detector has been determined as a function of energy, the spatial variation of quantum efficiency, geometric nonlinearities, background, imaging performance, and UV sensitivity. Results of periodic tests of the temporal stability of the instrument are also reported.
