<strong>Beamline</strong> <strong>G3</strong>: Microchannel pl<strong>at</strong>e<br />
The microchannel pl<strong>at</strong>e (MCP) consists of millions of very-thin, conductive<br />
glass capillaries fused together and sliced into a thin pl<strong>at</strong>e.<br />
MCP is a collim<strong>at</strong>or ar<strong>ray</strong> between the sample and a position-sensitive<br />
detector (CCD camera).<br />
Each channel of the MCP acts as a collim<strong>at</strong>or tube pointing to a certain<br />
loc<strong>at</strong>ion of the sample, channels arranged in hexagonal l<strong>at</strong>tice.<br />
Diameter of channels is 10 µm, 12.5 µm between their centers.<br />
