Claim Text:
1. A detector for detecting the traces of ionizing particles comprising: a scintillator configured to emit photons when ionizing particles pass therethrough; a first imager configured to detect each photon emitted by the scintillator, and a first microlens array, each microlens of the first microlens array being arranged such as to produce an image of the trace of the particles by focusing the photons emitted in the scintillator on the first imager, the first imager and the first microlens array being spaced apart by a distance D, each microlens of the first microlens array being optically coupled to at least two elementary detectors of the first imager, each microlens having a focal distance strictly less than the distance D between the first microlens array and the first imager.
