Description
A two-counter telescope setup was created and characterized. The telescope, which will be used for analyzing new scintillation materials for use with microchannel plates, was assembled using older PMTs and scintillators that were first quality-tested. The results of testing the final setup indicated that the telescope was functional for use in further studies.
