Microchannel plates (MCP's) from seven manufacturers were subjected to a series of tests to determine their suitability for the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite. Comparative data are presented for sixteen MCP tandem pairs with channel length to diameter ratios ranging from 40:1 to 60:1 and for two saturable (curved channel) MCP's. Results for MCP's with funnelled channel throats are also discussed. Properties of the MCP's which were monitored include: background count rate, output charge pulse height distribution (PHD), modal gain, PHD full width half maximum (FWHM), and extreme ultraviolet (EVU) photon quantum efficiency.
