A scintillator receives radiation and produces light. The scintillator is composed of columnar crystals arranged upright. Conical end portions of the columnar crystals are embedded in a resin layer formed on a light detection section. The resin layer, made from a thermosetting resin material, is heated and cured with the end portions embedded therein. Because a refractive index of the resin layer is lower than that of the columnar crystals, average refractive indices of respective layers between the columnar crystals and the light detection section change continuously. The resin layer prevents the end portions from damage and improves efficiency of incidence on the light detection section.
