Abstract
Results obtained with a new very compact detector for imaging with a matrix of Leak Microstructures (LM)are reported. Spatial linearity and spatial resolution obtained by scanning as well as the detection of alpha particles with 100% efficiency, when compared with a silicon detector, are stressed. Preliminary results recently obtained in detecting single electrons emitted by heated filament (Ec < 1 eV) at 1-3 mbar of propane are reported.
