Method of forming microchannel plates having curved microchannels

摘要

A profiled microchannel plate is obtained from a bundle which is formed from monolayers of microchannels. These channels are adjacently arranged and have the same curvature which is obtained by the profiling of each monolayer. The microchannel plate is obtained by cutting such a channel bundle into segments along mutually parallel planes which, however, are not parallel to the longitudinal direction of the channels.
