Abstract
In some embodiments, an apparatus and a system, as well as a method and an article, may operate to receive energy impinging on an outer surface of a photon detector having a columnar structure, and to direct the energy within the columnar structure to a position-sensitive readout to image the energy, wherein the position-sensitive readout has position-sensitive elements, and wherein individual ones of the elements are associated with at least one column in the columnar structure to provide intrinsic collimation of the energy from the outer surface to selected portions of the readout. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are described.
