The Micro Channel Plate's amplification degrades irreversibly with operation, in proportion to the log of total charge passed per channel or display area. For this reason, continued operation with a steady trace and especially at large beam currents must be avoided.

To protect the tube, the 7104 contains a protection circuit that shuts off the beam after a time depending on the beam circuit. | |||
