Abstract

The VUV (30–1200A) detector described consists of a compact ‘Micro-Channel-Plate-Wedge-and-Strip anode’ imaging system and of the corresponding data read-out electronics with 32 Mbyte of memory. The performance of this space qualified detector system was measured in the FUV. We obtained a spatial resolution of about 70 μm over the full detector area of ∼7 cm 2 . Image distortions are small and can easily be corrected for. Detector efficiency depends on the choice of photo-cathode and ranges between 50% in the FUV up to 90% in the EUV.
