We have developed an MCP detector with reconfigurable read-out which is capable of recording the position and time information for single particle counting and alternatively of operating at high particle flux with optical read-out. This is achieved by a Resistive Screen with embedded Phosphor (RSP) anode. On demand, signal pickup electrodes such as a delay-line array can be attached or removed without interfering with vacuum, allowing easy switching between the different operation modes. We show tests of a prototype.
