摘要：The present invention comprises a method for detecting photons and

generating a representation of an image. A photocathode receives photons from animage. A power supply to the photocathode is gated such that the photocathode isswitched between an on state and an off state. The photocathode discharges electrons inresponse to the received photons while the photocathode is in the on state. A

microchannel plate is located no more than about 125 microns from the photocathode.The microchannel plate has an unfilmed input face and an output face that receives theelectrons from the photocathode. The microchannel plate produces secondary emissionelectrons which are emitted from the output face. A screen receives the secondaryelectrons and displays a representation of the image.
