The specification describes an instru-ment and a method for determining information about an object (J), only one side of which is available for examination. The method involves exposing the ob-ject to gamma-rays and measuring the position and/or time of arrival of gamma-rays at a detector (D). The instrument includes a source of gamma-rays (S) lo-cated so that at least some gamma-rays impact upon the object, and a detector surrounded by a shield (C) having an aperture (A) for facing at the object to be studied. The detector is capable of measuring the po-sition and/or time of arrival at the detector of gamma- rays passing through the aperture.
