A luminescent storage screen of the type used to latently store an x-ray image in an x-ray diagnostics installation has two phosphor layers separated by and carried on a carrier disposed therebetween. The carrier is substantially transparent to x-radiation, so that the x-ray image is stored in both phosphor layers. A read-out apparatus for the storage screen includes a read-out beam generator which generates a single read-out beam which is directed at one side of the storage screen. The carrier is transmissive to the read-out beam, but is impermeable to light emitted by the phosphor layers, so that the light emitted by each phosphor layer during simultaneous read-out can be separately collected and detected. The single read-out beam simultaneously scans both phosphor layers, so that the resulting images are automatically correlated. The images are then combined in a known manner to form a single, displayed image.
