The Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Photon Counting Detector is a two dimensional area detector having a wide range of applications at optical, UV and X-ray wavelengths, both ground based and in space. It makes use of a microchannel plate intensifier and 'software centroiding' to derive the coordinates for photon events. The intensifier is coupled by means of a fiber optic taper either to a frame transfer CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CID camera running at video rates. Readout data frames are passed to a transputer array for analysis, where the event centroids are first calculated using an approximate numerical algorithm, then corrected using a lookup table. The current characteristics of the detector and some possible future developments are discussed.
