Scientific paper

The Kitt Peak Photon-Counting Array (KPCA) has been modified to provide access to individual frames, with the accompanying short frame time per exposure of between 2 and 5 ms. These changes are described and the instruments performance is illustrated. Imaging of the Crab pulsar with millisecond time resolution is presented as an astronomical example. Poor observing conditions precluded the photometric quality which would normally be achieved with a photon counter.
