Abstract
A large area image detecting apparatus made by arranging a plurality of small area sensors in a stepped arrangement so that the inactive regions of the small sensors are covered by a active area of another small sensor. The apparatus may be used to detect light or radiation. A fiber optic assembly may be used to guide light from a flat scintillator plate onto the small sensors.
