The characteristics of a herringbone assembly of microchannel plates with gaps of 5 and 15 ..mu..m between them are studied. Gain K less than or equal to 3 x 10/sup 7/ with amplitude resolution R greater than or equal to 30% is achieved in registration of ultraviolet photons and energetic neutral particles; a critical load of approx. 0.1/channel/sec is determined. The assembly can be effectively used when microchannel plates with curved channels are required.
