Abstract In this article we present the performance characteristics of a so-called driftless Gas Scintillation Proportional Counter which operates in the energy range 0.1–15 keV. Typically, an energy resolution of 30.8 % Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) is obtained at 0.28 keV (C-K radiation) whereas a rejection efficiency of 99.6 % for Co-60 induced background events is achieved in the energy range 0.4–10 keV. By making use of a position sensitive microchannelplate read-out a typical position resolution of 0.95 mm FWHM at 7.5 keV (Ni-K radiation) is obtained.
