Abstract
Apparatus for use in a radiation scanning system comprising a radiation detector and an optical system arranged to scan radiation from a field of view across the radiation detector. The optical system includes two sets of planar reflective surfaces, one set being movable relative to the other, and a rotary assembly carrying one of the sets and rotatable about an axis of rotation. The detector is arranged relative to the optical system such that the radiation enters the detector after sequential reflection from reflective surfaces of the two sets, and the surfaces which effect the sequential reflection being separated by a predetermined amount and being located with respect to the axis of rotation such that the angle of incidence of radiation at the detector is independent of the position of the radiation in the field of view.
