A synchrotron beam has been used to test the spatial resolution of a single‐photon‐resolving integrating readout‐chip coupled to a 320 µm‐thick silicon strip sensor with a dedicated readout system. Charge interpolation methods have yielded a spatial resolution of σ x ≃ 1.8 µm for a 20 µm‐pitch strip.
