Abstract

The invention proposes that a casting mold be provided with a lining for the manufacture of a crystal body. The lining is removed from the casting mold together with the crystal body that has solidified in the lining and the lining serves as a protective cap for the crystal body. Additional functional layers for the protective cap or the scintillator plate can be integrated into the lining.
