Description

The main features of the high performance INSULAb telescope are presented. The detector consists of several silicon microstrip layers with different widths and pitches, thus guaranteeing a good compromise between high spatial resolution (down to $\sim 5~\mu\mbox{m}$ for smaller layers owing to analog readout and floating strip scheme) and wide transverse coverage (up to $\sim 10 \times 10~\mbox{cm}^2$ for bigger layers). The large number of strips per layer makes particle multiplicity measurement possible as well, even for high intensity beams. Since each x-y module comes with independent electronics and mechanics the telescope fits several different beam test configurations; a survey on all the 2018 applications is presented.
