The authors establish criteria and procedures for optimizing the dynamic range and the spatial and temporal resolution of radiation detectors by the implementation of microchannel electron multipliers for amplification purposes. To this end they give performance and material evaluations for multiplier configurations and for x-ray, gamma, electron, and daughter product detection for iodine 125, americium 241, thulium 170, cerium 139, and mercury 203.
