TLDR
In this paper, the electron multiplier process in micro-channel plates is analyzed semi-quantitatively in a way that applies equally to channels of any cross-sectional shape, and a simple procedure is described for determining the applied voltage at which fixed-pattern image noise will be reduced to a minimum.About:

Gain model for microchannel plates.
TL;DR: The shape of the resultant predicted gain-voltage transfer characteristic for the MCP fits well with experimental data, confirming the assumption made and permitting the use of curve matching techniques to determine such important MCP parameters as the average number of active dynodes, the gain per stage, the crossover potential, the transit time through the multiplier, etc.

Delay line anodes for microchannel‐plate spectrometers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a photon counting readout system for microchannel-plate spectrometers that uses a delay line and timing circuit for the wavelength coordinate and a wedge-wedge charge division system for the orthogonal spatial coordinate.

High‐resolution imaging with a two‐dimensional resistive anode photon counter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method for achieving high spatial resolution readout of individual photoelectron events using microchannel plates and a resistive anode, and demonstrate a sealed detector for echelle spectroscopy at visible wavelengths.

X- and γ-ray imaging using microchannel plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the gain characteristics, dark noise and quantum detection efficiency of MCPs are examined, together with the many designs of electronic image readout capable of encoding the position of the MCP output charge pulse.

Micro-channel plates and vacuum detectors
TL;DR: A micro-channel plate is an array of miniature electron multipliers that are each acting as a continuous dynode chain this paper, which is used for night vision applications and integrated as an amplification element in image intensifiers.

Low Energy Charged‐Particle Detection Using the Continuous‐Channel Electron Multiplier
TL;DR: In this paper, the continuous channel electron multiplier is operated in a gain saturated mode such that single, charged particles entering the input mouth of the channel will initiate output pulses whose amplitude and shape are both uniform and independent of the character of the excitation radiation.
