Is possible to try function with photodiode without the scintillator? #94

I would like to know if only photodiode can detect something before I put scintillator on it? (try its function)

Thanks for your time to reply.

Hi Kristalek,

Practically speaking, no, in order to see a measurable signal, you need scintillator.

Thanks,
