Abstract
A stand-alone photosensor assembly has a housing with an axis, a first axial end and a second axial end opposite the first axial end. An adapter may be threadingly coupled to the first axial end of the housing. The adapter may be adapted to mount the housing to a scintillator. A photosensor element may be located inside the housing and adapted to be optically coupled to the scintillator. A sub-housing may be located inside the housing, at least a portion of which is located radially between the housing and the photosensor element. A scintillator assembly may include a scintillator and the photosensor assembly. A machine, such as a radiation detector, may include the scintillator and the photosensor assembly coupled to the scintillator. The machine also may include an output device to generate output in response to the photosensor assembly, and a user interface coupled to the output device.
