A laboratory model of a high resolution X-ray imaging detector was developed and constructed. The detector is suitable as a focal plane instrument for an X-ray telescope for astronomical observations. The detector will be used to test such telescopes in the laboratory. The X-ray photons are detected through photoconversion and secondary multiplication by two cascaded microchannel plates. Position determination is accomplished by means of a crossed grid charge collector. The operation of this detector as well as its development are described. The theory of charge division by a resistance-coupled wire grid is discussed in detail. A theory of the sensitivity of the detector for soft X-rays is developed and is in good agreement with measurements.
