A microstrip gas chamber was proposed to be applied to high energy physics which require a high position resolution and a good operation in circumstances of high intensity beam. This detector is based on the idea of reproducing intensity and structure of the electric field typical of a MWPC, but on a geometrical scale reduced by a facor of 10. This has become possible by using recent microelecronics technology and has very good space resoluion of about 50μm and a high rate capability of more than 106/mm2/sec. A 2-dimentional readout chamber is also possible. This detector seems to be hopeful for use in the radiative physics field.
