DEVICE AND METHOD FOR RECORDING AN IMAGE

The invention relates to a compact device and a method for recording an image. A mirror arrangement is interposed between an image source and a detector to record an image that is produced by the image source. The mirror arrangement comprises two interspaced deviating mirrors that are parallel to each other or that form an acute angle smaller than 90 DEG . Particularly when the image source is a scintillator layer a screening from X-rays can be achieved in front of the detector.
