摘要

A microchannel-plate based resistive-anode position sensitive detection system is applied to a high-resolution fast electron energy loss spectrometer. The biasing voltage divider network for the detector is investigated. The measurement efficiency is increased by about 20 times, and to some extent, the energy resolution is also improved. The static mode and the scanning mode of the spectrometer are discussed in detail. In the scanning mode, a spectrum with higher energy resolution can be obtained through a coarse scanning. As a testing experiment, the optical oscillator strength spectrum for the Rydberg series of helium is measured and the results are compared.
