Abstract:
1. A scintillation detector, especially one for a radiometric measuring device for measuring and/or monitoring a measured variable, especially one of: a fill level; or a density of a fill substance located in a container, comprising: two or more scintillators arranged in series relative to one another for converting thereon falling, radioactive radiation into light flashes, whose light propagates in said respective scintillator toward its ends; optical coupling elements arranged between said scintillators for establishing light transmitting connections between adjoining pairs of scintillators; and, connected at an end of the series, a photoelectric transducer, which converts light occurring in the series into an electrical signal corresponding to a radiation intensity striking said scintillators, wherein: at least one of said coupling elements is a mechanically flexible element, which includes a bundle of light conducting fibers, via which transmission of the light between said two scintillators connected with one another via said fibers occurs.
