Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9523348A1] A method and apparatus for ultrasensitive detection and quantification of particle emissions from an emitter to produce a large format high resolution digital image of the spatial distribution of detected emissions is described. In one embodiment, the detector apparatus consist of a plurality of solid state imaging devices, such as an array of charge-coupled devices arranged in close proximity to the emitter in a manner to produce the relatively large format digital image without the need for a lens between the emitter and detector.
