Zusammenfassung:We present the Multi-Array Galactic Plane Imaging Survey (MAGPIS), which maps portions of the first Galactic quadrant with an angular resolution, sensitivity, and dynamic range that surpass existing radio images of the Milky Way by more than an order of magnitude. The source detection threshold at 20 cm is in the range 1-2 mJy over the 85% of the survey region (5° < l < 32°, |b| < 08) not covered by bright extended emission; the angular resolution is ~6''. We catalog over 3000 discrete sources (diameters mostly
