Abstract

An apparatus for reading out a storage luminophore plate has a holder for the storage luminophore plate as well as for a detector line, and a device for setting the spacing between the storage luminophore plate and the detector line such that this spacing is controlled or regulated to be substantially constant with reference to the storage luminophore plate, at least over the region of the detector line.
