| 1. A manufacturing method of a radiation detecting apparatus including a panel, a scintillator layer of a material containing
as a main ingredient alkali halide and of a columnar crystal structure formed on the panel to convert radiation into light,
and a scintillator protection layer covering the scintillator layer to adhere closely to the scintillator protection layer,
said method comprising steps of:
preparing the panel, on which the scintillator layer is to be formed;
providing a melted hot-melt resin to cover the scintillator layer directly for forming the scintillator protection layer,
wherein the hot-melt resin is formed of a material which does not dissolve the scintillator layer even though the scintillator
protection layer contacts the scintillator layer; and
pressing by means of a pressing unit the hot-melt resin to reduce a thickness of the hot-melt resin in a region in which the
hot-melt resin contacts the panel at a periphery of the scintillator layer, with a lesser to no reduction in the thickness
of the hot-melt resin in a region in which the hot-melt resin contacts the scintillator layer.
