Abstract
In a computed tomograph wherein an object to be examined is scanned with a beam of light in a scanning plane and a photodetector receives the light transmitted through the object so that a tomographic image of the object is obtained, there is provided a holder for holding the object in the scanning plane, which comprises two separate portions arranged at the opposite sides of the scanning plane, each of the two separate portions having a supporting surface at substantially the same level for supporting at least a portion of the object being examined.
