The ability to tightly pack millions of microscopic secondary emitting channels into a two-dimensional, very thin, array known as a microchannel plate (MCP) provides excellent electrical charge or current amplification associated with an extremely short response time as well as very good spatial resolution. The ultimate performances in spatial and temporal resolutions achieved by MCP-based vacuum devices are discussed and illustrated by the description of a large range of experimental prototypes (photomultipliers, oscilloscope tubes, streak camera tubes, etc.) designed and produced at LEP, then tested in cooperation with Nuclear Research and Plasma Physics Centers in Europe and USA.
