Jim,

The way I see it, you have fixed array counters penetrating into the 
dark box of the microscope.  It is not the back of the box, it is the 
middle of the box.  We need that space for routing the fibers, in our 
present design.

If there were a good reason to get the fixed array counters as close to 
the focal plane as possible, there would be a motivation to see if we 
could overlap them like this.  But simulations show that moving the 
fixed counters back behind the microscope does nothing to the 
resolution.  Can you think of any other reason to complicate things like 
this, other than resolution?
