MCP

MCP

Microchannel Plate

Enabling the vision of tomorrow through photon and electron amplification.

Incom’s MCP technology utilizes a proprietary fabrication method co-developed with Argonne National Laboratory enabling the largest imaging area available and fully customizable geometries. It combines Incom’s capillary arrays (GCA) with thin film coatings applied to the channels by atomic layer deposition (ALD), which functionalizes the MCPs and allows the final operational parameters to be tailored to specific applications. Incom’s ALD-GCA-MCP technology offers significant advantages over conventional lead-oxide based MCP technology.
