介绍了一种多功能光子和带电粒子成像系统。Ranicon采用微通道电子倍增器板将每个检测到的事件转换为电荷信号。该电荷脉冲接近聚焦到在其边缘上配备有拾取电极的大面积电阻阳极板上。每个事件通过在边缘处收集的电荷的比率或通过信号的上升时间的差异来电子地定位。通过数字地存储事件（例如，核心存储器）或模拟形式（例如，存储示波器）。紧凑的实验室模型已经建成并进行了测试。操作特性，应用程序，限制和优点的Ranicon进行了讨论。
A versatile photon and charged particle imaging system is described. The Ranicon employs a microchannel electron multiplier plate to convert each detected event into a charge signal. This charge pulse is proximity focused onto a large area resistive anode plate equipped with pickup electrodes on its edges. Each event is located electronically by the ratios of the charges collected at the edges or by the differences of the signals' rise times. One or two dimensional pictures are built up by storing events digitally (e.g., a core memory) or in analog form (e.g., a storage oscilloscope). Compact laboratory models have been constructed and tested. Operating characteristics, applications, limitations, and advantages of the Ranicon are discussed.
