Description

We describe novel electronics for processing signals from a microchannel plate detector using a resistive anode readout. High sampling-rate (MHz) Analogue-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) coupled to a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) combine to offer high spatial resolution (70μm), low noise (0.1countcm-1s-1) imaging over a large (93mmx93mm) imaging area.These new low-cost electronics form an integral part of a MCP-based system for digital autoradiography designed to image radiolabelled thin tissue slices and 1- and 2-D electrophoresis gels
