The response of a multi-anode microchannel array (MAMA) detector tube to 1-MeV gamma radiation from a 60Co source was evaluated. The measured detection efficiency of the microchannel plate (MCP) was 2.2 x 10(-2) counts/photon and no permanent degradation of MCP performance was observed after exposure to a total dose of 10(6) rads.
