OST Photonics LYSO(Ce) Scintillators

OST Photonics LYSO Ce Scintillators
Cerium-doped Lutetium Yttrium Orthosilicate or lyso scintillator has the advantages of high light output, high density, short decay time, excellent timing and energy resolution. These properties make LYSO Crystal (Ce) becoming the most popular scintillators in Nuclear medicine (Positron Emission Tomography, PET/CT, and SPECT scan system), high energy physics, security scanners, and other applications.

OST Photonics has a complete set of crystal processing and assembly line, we can process all kinds of lyso scintillation crystals and LYSO(Ce) arrays according to customer's requirements. We have our own laboratory to test the product performance to ensure that the product performance meets the requirements of our customers. We provide professional solutions for scintillation crystal growth, surface treatment and array assembly.
