Abstract
A fiber optic plate assembly is provided for transferring optical signals to a detector or other optical element within an imaging device or imaging system. The fiber optic plate assembly comprises first and second fiber optic plates coupled via an optical coupling gel configured to permit separation of the two plates from each other to permit repair or replacement of one of the plates. Alternatively, the imaging device may comprise a single fiber optic plate coupled directly to an optical detector.
