Appeal No. 96-0107
Application 08/026,797
a layer of dielectric material on the ground plane
of the microchannel plate;
said layer of dielectric material being provided
with openings which align with, without covering, holes in the
microchannel plate.
5. In an image intensifier including a microchannel
plate and a phosphor screen positioned in spaced relation with
said plate, the improvement comprising:
a layer of electrically insulating material
positioned adjacent a ground plane of said microchannel plate and
having openings therein which align with but do not cover holes
in said microchannel plate.
12. A method for improving the spatial resolution of
proximity focused image intensifiers which includes a micro-
channel plate and a phosphor screen spaced therefrom to form a
gap therebetween, including the steps of:
positioning a layer of dielectric material
intermediate the microchannel plate and the phosphor screen and
adjacent to the microchannel plate; and
forming openings in the layer of dielectric
material which align with but do not cover holes in the
microchannel plate.
