  We report on the design and performance of a velocity map imaging (VMI)
spectrometer optimized for experiments using high-intensity extreme ultraviolet
(XUV) sources such as laser-driven high-order harmonic generation (HHG) sources
and free-electron lasers (FELs). Typically exhibiting low repetition rates and
high single-shot count rates, such~experiments do not easily lend themselves to
coincident detection of photo-electrons and -ions. In order to obtain molecular
frame or reaction channel-specific information, one has to rely on other
correlation techniques, such as covariant detection schemes. Our device allows
for combining different photo-electron and -ion detection modes for covariance
analysis. We present the expected performance in the different detection modes
and present the first results using an intense high-order harmonic generation
(HHG) source.
