The new detector MEPSICRON (microchannel electron position sensor with time resolution) is an image photomultiplier sensor for high spatial and time resolution, working in a photon counting regime. It has been especially designed for deep sky photometric pictures, for high resolution spectrophotometry with single or crossed dispersion spectrographs for long slit spectroscopic techniques, for high time resolution pictures and spectrophotometry especially related with speckles techniques and very fast varying sources as pulsars, and for Fabry-Pérot interferometry.
