Bi4(SiO4)3(BSO) ndi mtundu watsopano wa scintillation crystal yokhala ndi ntchito yabwino, imakhala ndi kukhazikika kwamakina ndi mankhwala, mawonekedwe a photoelectric ndi matenthedwe otulutsa.BSO crystal ili ndi zinthu zambiri zofanana ndi BGO, makamaka pazizindikiro zina zazikulu monga kuwala kwapambuyo ndi kutsika kosalekeza, ndipo imakhala ndi ntchito yabwino.M’zaka zaposachedwapa, zakopa chidwi cha ofufuza asayansi.Chifukwa chake ili ndi mitundu ingapo yogwiritsa ntchito mufizikiki yamphamvu kwambiri, mankhwala a nyukiliya, sayansi yamlengalenga, kuzindikira kwa Gamma, ndi zina zambiri.
