Abstract
A modular image sensor array is disclosed which includes a plurality of tiles each of which has an image sensor mounted thereon. The tiles are mounted on a base plate such that the image sensors form a predetermined pattern. In order to precisely locate the tiles relative to each other and to provide for the replacement of defective tiles, the tiles are assembled in an interlocking pattern on the base plate. The top surface of the tiles is formed by ceramic plates, and electrical conductors for the image sensors are formed on one of the ceramic plates. A transparent cover is mounted over all of the image sensors in the array.
