A camera with a disk-shaped scintillation crystal is described to which a number of photomultipliers are optically coupled in such a way as to detect light from overlapping faces of the crystal. A non-linear amplifier is assigned to each multiplier to generate coordinate signals corresponding to the point of scintillation in the crystal. Stronger input pulses are amplified more strongly than weaker ones. (RW/RF)
