Two dimensional delay line readout to be used with large diameter (127 mm) microchannel plates has been developed. High spatial resolutions (25 ..mu..m fwhm for an MCP gain of 2x10/sup 7/) and excellent linearity of position readout (less than +- 65 ..mu..m deviation from linearity) have been achieved in a test setup using 30 mm diameter MCPs coupled to 140 mm x 140 mm delay lines. Single pass delays of only 176 ns allow system deadtimes of less than one ..mu..s. This type of readout will be applied to imaging x-ray detectors to be used in protein crystallography.
