Abstract
An improved microchannel plate (24) is disclosed. The microchannel plate has an input side (24a) and an output side (24b). A coating (32) is applied to the input side (24a) to increase secondary electron production and to prevent ions from leaving the microchannel plate (24) and damaging the photocathode (22).
