Various papers on EUV, X-ray, and gamma-ray instrumentation for astronomy are presented. Individual topics addressed include: performance of lithium scatterers for X-ray polarimetry, shared X-ray concentration via crystal diffraction, optimum shields for spaceborne gamma-ray spectrometers, position-sensitive high-resolution spectrometer, IPCs for stellar X-ray polarimeter, soft X-ray windows for position-sensitive proportional counters, EUV imaging telescope array on the spectrum X-G satellite, European Photon Imaging Camera for X-ray astronomy, development of a UV auroral imager, background reduction in microchannel plates, 2D delay-line anode detector for astronomical imaging, dynamic range considerations for EUV MAMA detectors, Rosat WFD imaging detectors. Also discussed are: EUV band-pass filters for the Rosat wide-field camera, calibration of the Rosat High-Resolution Imager, superconducting tunneling junction detectors, test results of a prototype dielectric microcalorimeter, novel high-speed high-resolution position readout SPAN, after emission in microchannel plate detectors, highly curved microchannel plates, soft X-ray performance of back-illuminated EEV CCDs, proton damage effects in EEV CCDs, PN-CCDs for the XMM satellite mission, intensified CCD detectors using the phosphor TPB, silicon X-ray array detector concept, multilayer telescope for soft X-ray surveys, hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray astronomy mission EXOS.
