We discuss the application of wedge and strip anodes to microchannel plate detector systems for extreme and far ultraviolet, and visible wavelengths. Performance data, obtained as a result of calibration of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer Satellite (EUVE) [1] detectors (open face) and the Faust-Spacelab far UV sensors [2] (sealed tube, proximity CsI cathode, Figure 1), is presented. The flexibility of anode design structures for differing applications and performance in terms of spatial resolution, image linearity and stability, counting rate capability, and small scale differential linearity and stability are considered.
