An interface to evaluate the performance of photon-counting detectors

The development of an interface to analyse and characterise the performance of Microchannel Plate detectors (MCP) is presented. This tool can process the images generated when photons reach the detector, from the splitting of the video recorded into frames to the generation of a list where events are extracted and classified providing their position, size or intensity. The interface has been created using Python programming language and the DAOFIND algorithm for the identification of events, and it will be opened to the scientific community.
