Abstract: Metis, one of the instruments of the ESA mission Solar Orbiter (to be launched in February 2019), is a coronograph able to perform broadband polarization imaging in the visible range (580-640 nm), and narrow band imaging in UV (HI Lyman-α 121.6 nm) . The detector of the UV channel is an intensified camera, based on a Star-1000 rad-hard CMOS APS coupled via a 2:1 fiber optic taper to a single stage Microchannel Plate intensifier, sealed with an entrance MgF<SUB>2</SUB> window and provided with an opaque KBr photocathode. Before integration in the instrument, the UVDA (UV Detector Assembly) Flight Model has been characterized at the MPS laboratory and calibrated in the UV range using the detector calibration beamline of the Metrology Light Source synchrotron of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB). Linearity, spectral calibration, and response uniformity at 121.6 nm have been measured. Preliminary results are reported in this paper.
