The concept of community college dates back to the time of the former Minister of Education, Culture and Sports ( MECS ) that had under its wings the Bureaus of Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Higher Education and Vocational-Technical Education.

The MECS contained three identical gas scintillation proportional counters operating in the 1. 3 to 10 keV ( 208 to 1602 aJ ) range.

On 06 May 1997 one of the three identical MECS units was lost when a fault developed in the High Voltage power supply.

The LECS was similar to the MECS units, expect that it had a thinner window that allows photons with lower energies down to 0. 1 keV ( 16 aJ ) to pass through and operated in a " driftless " mode which is necessary to detect the lowest energy X-rays as these would be lost in the low field regime near the entrance window of aa conventional GSPC.

The LECS and MECS had imaging capability, whereas the high-energy narrow field instruments were non-imaging.
