Abstract

See full text

A large-format solid state imaging device which can detect optical images without loss of sharpness or resolution is provided and includes a solid state imaging device supported by and secured to a frame. To ensure that the imaging device does not deviate from its desired surface configuration, the device is pressed between an optical coupling plate and a support plate each having at least one matching surface whose curvature matches the other with a precision which permits the solid state imaging device to detect optical images without loss of sharpness or resolution and which conforms the imaging device into a desired configuration. Preferably, the frame is annular and the edges of the imaging device are secured to the frame by at least two spaced bonds.
