Abstract

A very high resolution radiochromatogram for ionizing radiation comprises at least one array made up of a set of filament-like members adapted to enable spatial marking of a surface to be analyzed according to a specific frame of reference and adapted to detect said radiation by scintillation and to transmit light produced by such detection. The array is formed by two groups of optical fibers. Each fiber is disposed along a respective straight line segment defining two orthogonal directions delimiting an analysis plane or surface. At least one of the groups is subdivided into two elementary groups spaced in a direction perpendicular to the analysis plane or surface. The fibers of the elementary groups are parallel.
