In order to take advantage of data rich focal planes of future space UV and soft x-ray missions, large format detectors with excellent spatial resolution and dynamic range are required. This paper presents the development of photon counting detectors where Timepix readouts are used in combination with Microchannel Plate electron amplifiers enabling photon counting with high spatial (~5µm) and temporal resolution with very large dynamic range (exceeding 10^8 ph/cm^2/s), capable of detection of many simultaneous particles and extended lifetime due to low gain operation. The latest generation of Timepix4 readout is 4-side buttabble enabling high resolution detection of many simultaneous particles (photons, ions, electrons, neutrons) in a large active area.
