The areas of the surfaces of the light guide not in contact with the photomultiplier tubes or the scintillating crystal assembly are covered with a highly light absorbent coating, such as black paint. In the preferred form, V-shapped indentations extend into the surface of the light guide and encircle the light sensitive faces of the photomultiplier tubes about the periphery thereof. These V-shaped indentations are also coated with a light absorbent coating. This improvement in the construction of the light guide reduces greatly the occurrence of ''''hot spots'''', which are recordations in a two-dimensional coordinate system of inordinately large concentrations of light that are not actually present at certain spots in the radiation source.,下面是Radiation detecting apparatus专利的具体信息内容。
