Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a low-resistance MCP with an expanded dynamic range and excellent environment resistance, in comparison with the conventional technology. The MCP has a double structure composed of hollow first cladding glasses whose inner wall surfaces function as channel walls, and a second cladding glass having a resistivity lower than that of the first cladding glasses.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microchannel plate comprising a main body comprised of lead glass which exhibits electric insulation before a reduction treatment and exhibits electric conduction after the reduction treatment, wherein the main body comprises: a front surface; a back surface opposing the front surface; channel walls each of which emits secondary electrons and continuously extending along a predetermined direction from the front surface to the back surface, the each c…
