A direct conversion nuclear particle detector including an absorption member having cathode and anode surfaces, a cathode attached to the cathode surface, a plurality of anodes attached to the anode surface and a shaping electrode also attached to the anode surface, adjacent anodes are separated by gaps, the electrode is attached to the anode surface within the gaps such that the electrode and each adjacent anode forms a space, the anodes are linked by a resistive network and at least two anodes are attached to amplifiers, the amplifiers generating signals which can be used to identify when a photon has been absorbed by the absorption member and approximately where with respect to the cathode surface the absorption occurred.
