“Low” Gain Images
Post-Scrub VMCP = 700VPre-Scrub VMCP = 550V
Note that the camera used for post scrub imaging was much higheroptical resolution, so differences are exaggerated

“High” Gain Images
Post-Scrub VMCP = 1100VPre-Scrub VMCP = 900V
Note that the defects are present before and after thescrub, most likely dust, and may have charged up topresent the bright rings only when light is turned on!

Pre-Scrub Close-Up• 40µm pores visible
• We can see the Hex boundary distortions are uneven
• 800v MCP
• 2900v screen
Post scrub at 800v

Post-Scrub Close-Up
• 40µm pores still visible but are now narrow spots.
• Hex boundary distortions are washed out
• 1100v MCP
• 2900v screen
• Former dead spots now have bright halos at high gain

Modulation seems more related to applied voltage - not gain.
