Abstract
A portion on the light exit end surface side of a fiber optic plate includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion corresponds to a peripheral portion of a semiconductor photodetecting element. The second portion corresponds to a thin portion of the semiconductor photodetecting element and projects more toward the semiconductor photodetecting element than the first portion. A height of a step made between the first portion and the second portion of the fiber optic plate is lower than a height of a step made between the thin portion and the peripheral portion of the semiconductor photodetecting element. The semiconductor photodetecting element and the fiber optic plate are fixed by a resin, in a state in which the first portion and the peripheral portion are in contact and in which the second portion and the thin portion are separated.
