The High Resolution Camera (HRC) is one of two focal plane instruments on the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, (AXAF). AXAF is a major NASA space observatory and is scheduled for launch in 1998. The HRC consists of two detectors; the essential element in each HRC detector is a chevron pair of microchannel plates (MCPs). The MCPs provide x-ray conversion and electron multiplication while maintaining high spatial and temporal resolution. This paper reports on the procedures and results obtained in testing and evaluating candidate flight MCPs.
