A telescope with arcmin resolution in the soft gamma-ray band is being constructed. This telescope will provide the first images of cosmic sources on arcmin scales in the energy range 30-200 keV. The payload consists of about 36 independent coaligned modules. Each module consists of an alkali halide scintillating crystal collimated to a one-dimensional coded-aperture mask. Every module is fixed in the telescope with a different rotational orientation, allowing reconstruction of two-dimensional images. Simulations of this system demonstrate the fidelity and robustness of the reconstructions.
