Buying Scintillator Crystals
Scintillator crystals, such as cesium iodide and zinc sulfide, are transparent materials that absorb ionizing radiation and produce faint light flashes. These flashes can be detected with a photomultiplier, making scintillator crystals essential components in scintillation detectors used for various radiation detection applications.
