Abstract
A luminescent storage screen having a stimulable phosphor for the latent storage of x-ray images, of the type wherein the latent image is read-out by excitation of the stimulable phosphor with a read-out beam having a first wavelength, causing radiation of a second wavelength to be emitted, which is acquired by a detector, the storage screen having lateral faces of disposed at an angle with respect to one of the end faces of the storage screen which is less than 90.degree.. The end faces are transparent so that radiation of the second wavelength can exit the screen from the end faces.
