Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a scintillation crystal in a detector assembly of a gamma imaging device. The mounting apparatus effectively isolates forces applied by a spring biased array of phototubes from a frangible scintillation crystal. The crystal is separately biased to the light pipe using only the minimum force needed to insure good optical coupling.
