Abstract. SUMER -Solar Ultraviolet Measurements of Emitted Radiation -onboard of SOHO -Solar and Heliospheric Observatory -obtained its first spectrum on January 25, 1996 near the north polar limb. The range from 660Å to 1175Å which has never before been observed with such a good spectral resolution contains a wealth of spectroscopic details. Identification of about 400 lines in this spectral range is given. We list the wavelengths of identified transitions and provide their absolute peak intensities. General spectral features of the most abundant elements H, He, C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Fe are described. In this spectral range many density-and temperature-sensitive line pairs are found. It is shown in examples how they can be used as diagnostic tools.

“…A 30 × 30 mm cross-delay line was vacuum sealed ~ 6 mm behind this assembly. The (X, Y) position of the electron cloud impact generated by each detected photon is read out using the SOHO-UVCS/SUMER mission design timing electronics 16 . The precise timing (nanotime, τ) of each detected photon with respect to the exciting laser pulse is obtained with a commercial 12 bit TDC (Model 7072T, FAST Comtec, Oberhaching, DE, EU) from the MCP back voltage pulse signal (Start) and the laser pulse signal (Stop).…”

“…To attain higher global count rates needed for wide-field observation of multiple single molecules and rapidly changing fluorescent samples, a faster type of position sensitive anode is needed. Based on the Space Sciences Lab's (SSL's) experience with cross-delay line anode 16 , we have designed and constructed a detector similar to those mentioned previously using a cross-delay anode readout by a time-to-digitalconverter (TDC) electronic module with a conversion time of 1.4 μs allowing a maximum ~700 kHz global readout rate 17 .…”

We have recently developed a wide-field photon-counting detector having high-temporal and highspatial resolutions and capable of high-throughput (the H33D detector). Its design is based on a 25 mm diameter multi-alkali photocathode producing one photo electron per detected photon, which are then multiplied up to 10 7 times by a 3-microchannel plate stack. The resulting electron cloud is proximity focused on a cross delay line anode, which allows determining the incident photon position with high accuracy. The imaging and fluorescence lifetime measurement performances of the H33D detector installed on a standard epifluorescence microscope will be presented. We compare them to those of standard single-molecule detectors such as single-photon avalanche photodiode (SPAD) or electron-multiplying camera using model samples (fluorescent beads, quantum dots and live cells). Finally, we discuss the design and applications of future generation of H33D detectors for single-molecule imaging and high-throughput study of biomolecular interactions.

We have developed a photon-counting High-temporal and High-spatial resolution, High-throughput 3-Dimensional detector (H33D) for biological imaging of fluorescent samples. The design is based on a 25 mm diameter S20 photocathode followed by a 3-microchannel plate stack, and a cross delay line anode. We describe the bench performance of the H33D detector, as well as preliminary imaging results obtained with fluorescent beads, quantum dots and live cells and discuss applications of future generation detectors for single-molecule imaging and high-throughput study of biomolecular interactions.
