ABSTRACT:
A microchannel plate and a method of making same are disclosed. The microchannel plate has an active area and at least one solid glass pad. The active area has a plurality of microchannels formed therein. The solid glass pad or pads are formed within the active area, and preferably at peripheral locations, for mounting the microchannel plate. With this arrangement, shrinkage of the microchannel plate during fabrication and hydration induced swelling of the active area after fabrication of the microchannel plate do not result in catastrophic warping or cracking of the microchannel plate.
