Abstract: An image sensor ( 21 ) has a plurality of chips ( 31 ). Each chip ( 31 ) has a plurality of converter ( 33 ) for converting incident beams into electric signals and a plurality of electric signal storages ( 35 ). The converters ( 33 ) are arranged in one row or a plurality of rows in the vicinity of the first end portion ( 31 a ) of the chip ( 31 ). Each electric signal storage ( 35 ) extends from the converter ( 33 ) to the second end portion ( 31 b ) opposite to the first end portion ( 31 a ). The first end portion ( 31 a ) of each chip ( 31 ) is shifted relative to the first end portion ( 31 a ) of an adjacent chip ( 31 ) so that the row of the converters ( 33 ) of the respective chips ( 31 ) are stepwise exposed.
