Résumé / Abstract

A novel scanning slit X-ray imaging system based on an "edge-on" microchannel plate detector was developed and tested. Images were acquired at 50kV(p) X-ray tube voltage with a limiting spatial resolution of 71p/mm. The pixel noise was measured to be 0.3 count/pixel/s for a 50 x 70 μm₂ pixel size. This photon counting detector can be considered to be virtually noise free.
